Rim is the connection point between the tyre and the chassis of the car.
Rubber Tyre is bolted to a rim of
the wheel.
Wheel rims also have aerodynamic importance.
Cool air passes from the brakes through the
rim openings from the inside of the wheel to the outside.
When the cross section of rims is made
smaller, the brake cooling takes place faster.
The governing body of motor sport worldwide and the
representative of 60 million road and track users, Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has
recommended carbon fiber fairings on the outside of the wheels to increase cooling and control the
airflow in the wake of tyres.
Competitive aerodynamic performance of Formula One car relies heavily on the downstream wake of
the exposed rotating wheels.
Participating teams work and try to develop better rims, which give lesser
changing time of tyres at pitstops.
International companies which make luxury cars for premium
markets also inves
