Step 3

Select the Eraser Tool with soft-edged brush and erase the blurred layer in the hood area.



Merge layers with car by selecting both layers and pressing Ctrl+E..



Step 5

Now select the wheel rim area with the Polygonal Lasso Tool.



Copy selection to a new layer by pressing Ctrl+J.



Go to Edit > Transformer > Scale to scale the wheel rim to get something similar to my screenshot below.



Go to Edit > Transformer > Warp.



Still with wheel rim selected go to Select > Load Selection. After that apply Filter > Blur > Radial Blur with following settings:





Move wheel rim back to his place and apply Edit < Transformer > Warp again.
