2. BBS Autotechnik - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBS_Autotechnik

   In 1994, the LM was released, a two-piece wheel based on the design of Le Mans race wheels of the era. [28] In 2011, the RI-D was released, the world's first wheel made of duralumin. [29] The market of BBS as an aftermarket wheel producer surged in 1983 with the inception of global sales by the company.

3. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   The upper chuck lowers to make contact with the upper bead. The tire is inflated to the set point pressure. The load wheel advances to contact the tire and apply the set loading force. The spindle drive accelerates the tire to the test speed. Once speed, force, and pressure are stable, load cells measure the force exerted on the load wheel by ...

4. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

   By inclining the steering axis inward (away from the wheel), it causes the spindle to rise and fall as the wheels are turned in one direction or the other. Because the tire cannot be forced into the ground as the spindle travels in an arc, the tire/wheel assembly raises the suspension and thus causes the tire/wheel assembly to seek the low ...

5. Caster angle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

   Caster displacement moves the steering axis ahead of the axis of wheel rotation, as with the front wheels of a shopping cart. Caster angle moves the steering axis from vertical. [3] In automobile racing, the caster angle may be adjusted to optimize handling characteristics for a particular venue. This is all connected to the front wheels.

6. Wheel alignment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_alignment

   Camber is the angle which the vertical axis of the wheel makes with the vertical axis of the vehicle. This angle is very important for the cornering performance of the vehicles. Generally, a Camber around 0.5-2 degrees is given on the vehicles. Depending upon wheel orientation, Camber can be of three types. 1. Positive Camber

7. Tire balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

   Vibration in automobiles may occur for many reasons, such as wheel unbalance, imperfect tire or wheel shape, brake pulsation, and worn or loose driveline, suspension, or steering components. Unbalance can result from collision-induced wheel deformations, uneven tire wear, or a shift of the tire on the rim.
