Look for 1 ton wheels at the Modelhaus. Don used to sell an awesome set of wheels and tires that really looked good.
Your truck looks great. I have a resin body from Don that I plan on using for the same application as yours. All I need is a decent donor kit to mount the box on.

Why dont you use a 1:32 scale Newray Truck Tires with 1:25 scale AMT rims. They look good..Gives the look of a newer wheel simulator almost

Now that is a very nice job you have done on the crane, for the hook you could scratch build one, use a very thin wire for the shape, then use some milliput to shape the hook, or just carve it from styrene I you could search military models parts for something to suit
when you are at a hobby shop next look at the ship model section they have some great stuff that can be use as well, like the rigging rope, and that is also in scale to what you need , or you could use cotton
