BDifficulty 2/5

In a passenger car with removable wheels secured by bolts or nuts, to which component is the rim normally attached?

Correct answer

To the hub

To the wheel hub. The rim must suit the vehicle and be fitted according to manufacturer instructions and tightening torque. It does not attach directly to the engine or gearbox. Distinguish the rim, tyre and complete wheel assembly: not all their parts are metallic.
