depending on the image you could use the magic wand tool which automatically selects edges. i would use the pen tool with 'paths' selected from the top toolbar instead of the default 'shape layers'

once you have it outlined spot on you then need to click on paths (one of teh tabs near the layers area) and right click your path and choose 'make selection' set the feather to 0 and you should have your selection. just cut, copy, paste what ya like from there on. if your wanting the wheel id copy the selection, create a new image and paste. then you can tidy up resize if required,

use the lasso tool top left of the tool box, might be second one down.

select the area you want to remove or copy&pste th just press

CTRL+X then CTRL+P on the new image where you want it

i always cut instead of copy..mmmm duno why!

stick with the pen tool bud, you can undo if you make a slight mistake. less pressure

Even easier...use the ellipsile tool (iirc) you can get it pretty mcuh spot on with it..quicker too
