Wheel and rim design over the course of time (car connoisseur quiz)
09/20/2020
For decades, the wheel served less as a design feature and more as a means to an end. In the post-war years, when individual shapes and looks became more important, people realized that it was the wheels that could make a big difference. With the usual steel wheels of the time, often decorated with hubcaps, the possibilities were still limited, or would you have recognized the wheel above (without body details)?
Even the popular wire wheels hardly differed from vehicle brand to vehicle brand, it was only with the alloy wheels that the variety of designs unfolded, even if not everyone took maximum advantage of the design freedoms.
But there were also extreme examples, such as special wheels for the Mazda RX-7, which were modeled on the engine concept (rotary piston engine). And there were also some wild designs for concept cars.
A few years ago, we presented a car connoisseur quiz on the subject of wheels/rims, and now we have created a second part in which the aim is again to assign the right vehicle to the wheels.
Try it, it's funand you always see things that you have long forgotten ...
