Wheels can be divided into various types

Wheel hub is the part in the centre of a car wheel and one of the key components connecting the car wheel to the body. It not only has a beautiful appearance design, but also bears the important functions of supporting the body, reducing vehicle vibration, improving handling performance and so on.

Wheel hub is the part in the centre of a car wheel and one of the key components connecting the car wheel to the body. It not only has a beautiful appearance design, but also bears the important functions of supporting the body, reducing vehicle vibration, improving handling performance and so on. According to different materials, structures and modelling designs, wheel hubs can be divided into various types.

1. Aluminium alloy wheel: Aluminium alloy wheel is one of the most common types of wheels at present. It is made of aluminium alloy material with high strength and lightweight characteristics, which can effectively reduce the weight of the body, improve the fuel economy of the vehicle and the responsiveness of the suspension system. Aluminium alloy wheels can also be treated with various processes, such as sandblasting, painting, polishing, etc., in order to obtain different surface textures and styles to meet consumers' needs.

2. Steel wheels: Steel wheels were the most common type of wheel in the past. It is made of high-strength steel, which is relatively heavy but has high load-bearing capacity and durability. Steel wheels are usually designed with minimalist styling and are suitable for regular domestic and commercial vehicles.

3. Carbon fibre wheels: Carbon fibre wheels are a high-performance wheel type made from a carbon fibre composite material. Carbon fibre wheels are extremely strong and stiff, lightweight and offer improved suspension response and handling. However, due to limitations in production process and cost, carbon fibre wheels are currently used in limited production vehicles such as high-end sports cars and racing cars.

4. Forged wheels: Forged wheels are a type of wheel that is forged and moulded at high temperatures and pressures. Forged wheels have high strength and stiffness, good durability and are able to withstand greater loads. Forged wheels have a higher material density and a more uniform structure than traditional die casting or casting processes, which increases the strength and durability of the wheel.

In conclusion, the choice of wheel type depends on the usage needs of the vehicle and personal preferences. Consumers can choose the right type of wheel according to their needs to enhance the performance and appearance of their cars. Meanwhile, attention should also be paid to the quality and manufacturing process of the wheels to ensure safety and reliability.
