   Wire wheels, wire-spoked wheels, tension-spoked wheels, or "suspension" wheels are wheels whose rims connect to their hubs by wire spokes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Although these wires are considerably stiffer than a similar diameter wire rope , they function mechanically the same as tensioned flexible wires, keeping the rim true while supporting ...

   The wheel rims are usually steel or aluminum (generally with steel spokes and an aluminum hub) or mag-type cast or machined aluminum. Cast magnesium disks, produced by one-step hot forging from magnesium alloys ZK60 and MA-14, are also used for many motorcycle wheels.

   The spoked wheel was invented to allow the construction of lighter and swifter vehicles. The earliest physical evidence for spoked wheels were found in the Sintashta culture, dating to c. 2000 BCE. [1] Soon after this, horse cultures of the Caucasus region used horse-drawn spoked-wheel war chariots for the greater

7. Wheelbuilding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbuilding

   Motorcycle rims are dimpled toward the hub at each spoke location, and the holes for the spokes are drilled into the dimples at an angle. This angle is a function of the cross-pattern used to lace the wheel, the diameter of the hub flanges, and the width of the hub at the flanges.
