wire wheels

Vintage car rims

Wire wheels are wheels with spokes made of tensioned wire or thin metal rods radiating from the hub to the rim.

They appear on bicycles, motorcycles, and classic cars, prized for their light weight and distinctive appearance.

In automotive contexts, wire wheels often signal vintage styling or custom modification: The old MG had gleaming wire wheels.
