2. Burnout (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnout_(vehicle)

   A burnout (also known as a peel out, power brake, or brakestand) is the practice of keeping a vehicle stationary and spinning its wheels, the resultant friction causing the tires to heat up and smoke. While the burnout gained widespread popularity in California, it was first created by Buddy Houston, his brother Melson and David Tatum II at Ted ...

3. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

   The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively called stagecoach-wheel effect) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel can appear to rotate more slowly than the true rotation, it can appear stationary, or it can appear to rotate in the opposite direction from the true rotation ...

4. Rim (wheel) - Wikipedia

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

   The disk is welded in place such that the center of the wheel is equal to the center of the hub. The distance between the centerline of the rim and the mounting plane of the wheel is called the "offset" and can be positive, negative, or zero. [14] One-piece rim and wheel assemblies (see image) may be obtained by casting or forging.

5. Wheelspin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelspin

   Wheels can also lose traction when surface conditions reduce available traction such as on snow and ice. As an open differential delivers only enough torque to cause the "weakest" wheel to spin, if one drive wheel is stationary on a low traction surface (mud, ice, etc.), the deliverable torque is limited to the traction available on it.

6. Spinner (wheel) - Wikipedia

   Two bladed spinner on a wire wheel 1967 AMC simulated wire wheel cover with spinner. The spinner or "knock-off" originated with Rudge-Whitworth center lock wire wheels and hubs, which were first patented in 1908. [1] [2] The spinner was a threaded, winged nut designed to keep the wheel fastened to the hub. They were screwed on and "knocked on ...
