way of animating the wheels

ok im going to give the low down on how i animated the wheels for the car, it was quite simple actually and far more easier then some of the tutorials i have been reading. I first started with combining the whole car together, once that was done then i had to get each wheel and parent it to the car. After parenting the wheels to the car i selected the car as a whole which included the wheels also, i key framed the car being stationary at frame 0 and towards frame 100 where the car moved forward a bit.

This would move the whole car together with the wheels but the problem here is that the wheels would not rotate but would only drag fowards this was because i had key framed it using the move tool. Going into perspective view i watched each frame and calculated it speed and distance it would need to follow the car smoothly. This is how i animated the wheels and i say it works best for me.
