You could try to light the car with a shop light or large flashlight hitting that side of it from an angle at camera left. You don't want a whole lot of light, just enough to highlight the wheels. This may give you the effect you're looking for. 5DM2 + BG-E6 | 50 1.4 | TS-E 17L | 16-35L | 135L | 70-200 f/4L IS

They are bright as can be in my first bracket for the HDR but I don't want them to loose as much luster that they have in the top pic...
