	Hi Andrew....

	I'll make a couple of assumptions here...

	1 - That you are attempting to _animate_ and not simply
	    do a single frame.

	2 - That your reason for asking about blurring only parts
	    of the car (wheels) is to reduce render time.


	If this is correct, the answer is simple.  Do what I did to
	get blur _before_ motion blur was included with LW.

	Turn off motion blur.

	Replace the wheels with a new set of wheels that have no detail,
	only smooth surfaces for the wheel/hub.

	Paint an image map of a wheel that looks blured (image processors
	can help, and if need be, render a single image of your original
	wheel in lightwave, with motion blur on and the wheel in rotation,
	save the image).

	Map the image to each wheel.

	Render normally.
