Just an FYI on the wheel "aging", you can get a closer to original appearance using a combination of citrus juices and aluminum wheel cleaner. To darken them up, believe it or not, but a mixture of the above mentioned citrus and tea leaves (and dark soil mixed in) gives it a darker, more natural appearance.

Got that one from a fellow who does set design for a large group of the Florida film production companies......
