  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. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

    Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces.

  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. Wheel construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_construction

    Construction of wire-spoked wheels is generally termed as wheelbuilding, so wheel construction refers to construction of non-wire wheels, e.g. wheels of cars and other heavier vehicles. Wheels are constructed in a wide variety of designs using different materials, but in the early 21st century, aluminum and steel are most often used, with steel ...

  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. Wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel

    The normal force between the 4 wheels and axles is the same (in total) 981 N. Assume, for wood, μ = 0.25, and say the wheel diameter is 1000 mm and axle diameter is 50 mm. So while the object still moves 10 m the sliding frictional surfaces only slide over each other a distance of 0.5 m.
