wheel spokes
Rim-to-center rods
Wheel spokes are the rods or bars that connect a wheel's hub to its outer rim, distributing weight and maintaining the wheel's shape under stress.
Traditional wooden wagon wheels had thick spokes; bicycle wheels use thin wire spokes held in tension.
The mechanic tightened the loose spokes.
Something radiating outward from a center point resembles spokes: Streets spread from the plaza like spokes on a wheel.
