  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. Magnesium wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_wheels

    However, those magnesium wheels proved to be impractical because they were prone to corrosion and they were mostly used in racing sports. After 1960's magnesium wheels were gradually replaced by aluminium alloy wheels on the mass market, but not from the competition wheels market. Many manufacturers of magnesium wheels are still operating.

  4. Rim (wheel) - Wikipedia

    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

    An example use-case are wheel rims produced by low -pressure casting because of their good strength, corrosion resistance and elongation at break. Alloys with about 10% Si are used for cylinder heads, switch housings, intake manifolds, transformer tanks, wheel suspensions and oil pans. Alloys with 5% Si to 7% Si are used for chassis parts and ...

  6. Wheel construction - Wikipedia
