So the last time I posted here you brilliant photographers were able to help me correct my mistakes, I'm hoping you can give me some guidance on how to fix a problem I've never been able to figure out.

My buddy has painted his wheels "highlighter yellow". I can not seem to take a picture of them that doesn't come out blurry, washed out or just generally looking terrible. The picture below is shot at 1/1250 f/4, I get the same strange effect shooting a panning shot at 1/160 f/7.1 or anything in between.

Sorry for the subpar example shot, it was hot yesterday and I wasn't really feeling it


Anybody have any ideas?
