I recommand you use the exclispe selection tool for round areas e.g wheels, disc breaks.
All you have to do it select it best you can first time, and then you right click, 'Transform Selection' and then when in transform mode, right click again and choose distort, and then you should be able to get the selection near perfect, if not perfect.
Then when selection it done, right click and then click stroke path.
