my render - Wheel
Very nice.
You might want to increase the tessellation, especially on the rotor hat.
Wheels are tuff. I tried a couple of times. No luck.
Wheels ARE hard. The best advice I ever got was to study the real thing as much as possible:

Then give your wheel some context, nobody ever sees a wheel/tire/brake system without a fender around!
