Computer Generated Rotor

So I got a little bored this morning and decided to render this for some wallpaper. I eye-balled measurements using an RX-8 pamphlet. The gears are alittle off, the outside chamfers are missing and the JPEG quality is OK (keeping size down), but I think it looks pretty good. Comments, suggestions...

POV-Ray and Moray. They are both freeware, I've been using them for years. Can't beat that. :D

Wow, from the picture, I was way off on the thickness. Anyone know the ratio of radius to thickness for the rotor? I'm thinking about animating it. The motion calculations seem like they might be non-trivial, but interesting to attempt...
