spoked

Having wheel rays

Spoked describes something equipped with spokes—the rods radiating from the center of a wheel to its rim: a spoked wheel, spoked rims on a vintage car.

The term distinguishes traditional wheel designs from solid or mag wheels.

Spoked wheels appear on bicycles, motorcycles, classic automobiles, and wheelchairs.
