About the treads on the tires, I've seen several forklifts with slicks, solid ruber as
tires. In 
that case, you expect those to have nicks and dents in them, and very mate. It was the
case of the 
first one that I saw close up in a place where I worked many years ago.
Unless brand new, the paint get scratched, chipped and worn out. Maybe some dents and
scratches on 
the hubcaps, and less reflection.
I would expect a step hole a litle behind the front wheels about mid way up the side,
with diamond 
plate bottom.
I would reduce the reflection on the gas thank also, I've never saw one so shiny. It
also need 
mounting brackets and straps.
