I've posted some scene code in povray.text.scene-files which does nearly 
what you asked for. The code takes a spline path for a single wheel to 
follow, and rolls it along the path, rotating it correctly for the 
distance it follows. Varying velocity is done by adjusting the spline 
path. For a car, you may want to integrate the distances each wheel 
travels, otherwise the individual wheels will "slip".
