leaky fuel lines/service/kleen wheels

It's a 96' E300 with 115,000, and while taking the return lines off, I noticed that the lines, especially near the injector, are very hard. I think I'll replace those first, although, since we've owned this vehicle(30,000), the only thing I've replaced has been the oil filter(many times), fuel filter(3x's), air filter(replaced with a RamX) and one trans service(and tires, of course). My point being, no other service has ever been done and I was told by a ind. Benz mechanic that the injectors should be cleaned, filter in the power steering needs to be replaced, trans needs a service, rear differential fluid replaced along with a brake fluid flush. Now the question, is it a good time to do all these things?
A side note/question, he also said because I had kleen wheels on, not enough cooling was getting to the rotors which in turn has turned them a bluish color. Is that common with kleen whees when used with stock rims?
Thanks,
Matt H
