Step 16

Repeat this step with each spoke, try getting something like this: Merge all the layers created for the spokes together. I’ve lowered the saturation a bit, to make the spokes less contrast. You can make adjustments at this step, using Image-Adjustments-Hue Saturation, to fine-tune the color or light.

Step 17 – Lights (5)

We’ll add some reflections of the spokes on the rim. To get a good picture of how they should look, try looking at some deep-dish rims, the reflections tend to follow the curvature of the rim.

Make a selection like this, and fill it up with a darker orange (not too dark). Set the Smudge tool to 250 px, with a fuzzy brush, and smudge the lower part of the reflection, to make it look like it is fading away. Use the Burn tool to darken the reflection, making it a bit lighter colored to the tip of the rim. Set the layer’s opacity to 90%, and repeat this step for the other spokes., and on in the inner part of the rim.

Step 18 – Lights (6)

Select the middle part of the rim, as shown. Using the Elliptical Marquee Tool (L) to make the selection, right click and select Layer via Copy. We’ll save this part for later. Go back to the spokes layer, and select the center, but this time on the outer edge. Again, create a new layer via copy, now this layer should be under the previous center layer. Use Burn tool on the upper part, and the dodge tool in the lower part.

Step 19

Create a new layer on top of this one, and create teardrop-shaped selection in the lower part of the layer, and fill it up with white. Set the layer’s style to Overlay, and start erasing some of it, using the Eraser tool (E), set at 20% opacity

Step 20 – Refs

Use the technique we used to create reflections on the rim to create round reflections around the center (use the brush tool at 7px, white color, and use the "Stroke path" option to create them). Merge all the spokes layers.

Step 21 – Creating the screws

Create a new layer, in which we’ll make the screw itself. Use the ellipse tool to make a round ellipse. Turn the path into a selection, and fill it up with orange. Use the burn tool to darken some of it. Merge this layer with the one underneath (the screw location layer). Select the remaining area of the screw, and use the burn tool to darken it. Make some reflection on the contour now. Repeat this step for all screws.
