rather than using the polygonal lasso to select the wheel which might give you jaggeredy edges you might want to try the method i use.

1) Make a new layer

2) use the circle selection tool to draw a circle roughly the right size of the wheel - this will be your circle guide (hold shift if you want it to be a perfect circle for side on shots)

3) fill the circle guide with any colour and reduce the opacity so you can see the car pic below.

4) Then use transform (ctrl T) to position the circle guide to match the wheel (you may need to use CTRL click on the corners of the transform box and / or rotate the circle)

5) once this is in the right place hit enter (the transform box will disappear and nothing will be selected) so CTRL click on the circle layer on the layers pallette so the circle guide selection is highlighted on the image , then just right click the wheel layer on the layers pallette - this will enable you edit just the wheel part of main image or you can copy and paste so you have a perfect cut out of the wheel. you can then either delete the circle guide layer or click the eye icon on the layers pallette to hide it.
