The 8461 "Williams F1 Team Racer" set uses the 22969 "Wheel 62mm D. x 46mm Technic Racing Large" (pictured below). There is one 4185 "Technic Wedge Belt Wheel (Pulley)" used in this set, so perhaps you could add four more for the "disk brakes".

The "Technic, disk 3x3" part may work as well:

@ SNIPE: If you want a HUGE disk brake, you could use the 4750 "Fabuland Plate, Round 13 2/3 Stud Diameter - (Ferris Wheel Side, Merry-Go-Round Type 2 Base)"

Seriously, though, you could use a 60474 "Plate, Round 4 x 4 with Pin Hole" with one or two 4032 "Plates, Round 2 x 2 with Axle Hole" stuck on it.

Just thinking out loud here.

What if you used both the larger pulley and the smaller one (with the holes)

Depending on which side you are trying to make "look" like the real thing the smaller pulley would look like a cross drilled rotor. Further, you might be able to put "pads" on the larger pulley to really finish the look.

You may also try the "Technic, Disk 5 x 5 - Notched, No Pattern, WITH PIN" part.

Would this be too wide?

probably not

i think ill use the silver technik disks 2 posts above unless there is something slightly taller but still sleek looking

also is there some disk that i can use to put over the middle bit of the inside of the rim (rim image at top of page)?, it would require having a larger hole in the centre

@ SNIPE: You know, you could get familiar with Bricklink.com's Parts Catalog, and look at all of the various "Disks", "Round" pieces, etc. You obviously don't know what is available, so you should make the effort to find out. "Seek and ye shall find". Instead of posing simple, basic questions here (and waiting hours/days for a reply), you can find out the answer yourself in about 5 minutes.

There are no shortcuts to gaining a basic understanding of available Lego parts.

Another option is to look through the Extended Mode of Lego Digital Designer - that can help you become familiar with a very large number of parts, and you can play around with them to see if they fit or look how you'd like.

Here's how you can activate Extended Mode

Whatever you end up doing, here's hoping you can find a piece that suits your needs!
