1. Create a circle with a 32px border together with a border color you like. Select "no color" for the fill.
2. Select the circle and choose Menu "Arange" -> "Convert line to shape".
3. Select the Bevel Tool (CTRL+F3), choose a "Flat" bevel, play with the size of the bevel and the bevel option "Outer Bevel"/"Inner Bevel".
4. Select the bevelled circle and choose Menu "Edit" -> "Clone objects" (CTRL+K) to create a copy of the first circle.
5. Choose the Selector Tool (F2), select the option "Lock aspect ratio" if it's not already selected. Type in 75% in the field "Scale width". Now, the second circle is in the middle of the first circle.

with this design would i be able to have each circle spin independently of each other? i cant seem to make that happen.

Sorry, I didn't recognized, that your question was posted in the Xara 3D forum. My steps are for Xara Xtreme, not Xara 3D. I don't own Xara 3D, therefore I'm not able to help you.
