Wooden wheels were the original type of wheels, and they were made from a variety of woods, including oak, ash, and hickory. Wooden wheels were usually made with a hub, spokes, and a rim. The hub was the center of the wheel and was usually made from a solid piece of wood. The spokes were thin pieces of wood that connected the hub to the rim. The rim was the outer edge of the wheel and was usually made from a single piece of wood.
2. Iron
Iron wheels were developed later than wooden wheels and were made from cast iron or wrought iron. Cast iron wheels were made by pouring molten iron into a mold. Wrought iron wheels were made by heating iron bars until they were soft and then hammering them into shape. Iron wheels were stronger than wooden wheels and could withstand more wear and tear.
3. Steel
Steel wheels were developed in the late 19th century and were made from carbon steel or alloy steel. Carbon steel wheels were made from a mixture of iron and carbon. Alloy steel wheels were made from a mixture of iron, carbon, and other alloying elements, such as chromium or nickel. Steel wheels were stronger and more durable than wooden or iron wheels.
4. Aluminum
Aluminum wheels were developed in the 20th century and were made from aluminum alloy. Aluminum wheels are lightweight and strong, and they are now the most common type of wheel used on cars and trucks.
