Just don't rush when modeling, take your time and it'll be good. That wheel took about 6 hrs to make and the materials aren't done (though my comp crashed several times 'cos the model is too complex for my rig).
Can't help you there as I am a MAXman myself (that doesn't really sound good now does it? ) But I don't think it should be that dificult, unless it isn't possible (really, I've never used blender)
