2. Alloy wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy_wheel

   Alloy wheels have long been included as standard equipment on higher-priced luxury or sports cars, with larger-sized or "exclusive" alloy wheels being options. The high cost of alloy wheels makes them attractive to thieves; to counter this, automakers and dealers often use locking lug nuts or bolts which require a special key to remove.

3. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

   Welded aluminium alloy bicycle frame, made in the 1990s. An aluminium alloy (UK/IUPAC) or aluminum alloy (NA; see spelling differences) is an alloy in which aluminium (Al) is the predominant metal. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin, nickel and zinc.

4. Rim (wheel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

   One engineering text says, "alloy wheels [are] often incorrectly called aluminum rims". [18] Some authors are careful to use rim literally for only the outer portion of a wheel, where the tire mounts, [19] just as the rim of a coffee cup or a meteor crater does not refer to the entire object.

5. Aluminium–silicon alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–silicon_alloys

   Casting is the primary use of aluminum-silicon alloys, but they can also be utilized in rapid solidification processes and powder metallurgy. Alloys used by powder metallurgy, rather than casting, may contain even more silicon, up to 50%. [1] Silumin has a high resistance to corrosion, making it useful in humid environments.

6. Magnesium wheels - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_wheels

   Magnesium wheels are wheels manufactured from alloys which contain mostly magnesium. Magnesium wheels are produced either by casting (metalworking) (where molten metal is introduced into a mold, solidifying within the mold), or by forging (where a prefabricated bar is deformed mechanically).

7. Hubcap - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubcap

   On modern automobiles, full-wheel hubcaps are most commonly seen on budget models and base trim levels, while upscale and performance-oriented models use alloy wheels. Even modern aluminum alloy wheels generally use small removable center caps, similar in size to the earliest hubcaps.
