Black is extremely hard to brush right. Because glossy black reflects almost everything perfectly. You've definitely done a good attempt but you fell for the black brush trap - dont worry, even pros do that. Try to practice more on that and find a reference or two so you understand how it works. Along with the overall brush you also need to take into account the surfaces. You have some flat surfaces in your bumper for example that are reflecting the same grey as the sides.

On to other stuff; You lines are a bit sharp. You can see a lot of jaggy pixels along the edges of the lights and wheel arches. When you make selections try to increase the "feather radius" to get softer edges. Additionally with the lights and arches a bit of shading would have helped as well.

The wheels look a bit blurry and pixelated. Especially the rear. The rear is also off angle a bit. As for personal taste on a black car I would've maybe gone with some chrome wheels instead. But I think these wheels might be a product of the background you chose, so it's fine.

Overall a very good effort, and I commend you for wanting to chop that ugly 3 series GT ^^. Keep at it!

Glossy paint in general is just very confusing stuff The way it reflects and shows it colours at different angles is crazy - I should put together a tutorial that goes someway to explaining it.

But do not worry! We all have to build and learn from somewhere - it's just a case of practicing and experimenting to see what looks right One of the best things to do is to find a good reference image, and look at real cars and photos so you can see how the light should reflect, then try to mimic it on your work. Gradually over time you begin to build up your own understanding as to how this should be

So don't lose heart! Keep on trying

You have right, the wheels are from backround and i try too copy reflection from backround but also to not be exaggerating, and i see was not a good feeling and don't worry, i don't lett down the photoshop, i try to improve little by little to reach intermediate area .

And this is the backround

Agree with other comments
Wheels are well fited and perspective is ok but paint job isnt so good, looks really toony.
Next time try to find some reference images for paint like i did on my Infiniti g35 I've used about 5 donors just for paint.

i need more definition, reflex etc..
