: what’s the point of those holes/designs in the middle of car wheels?
In: Engineering
Heat and weight. Brakes generate a lot of heat, and more open wheels allows for increased airflow and heat dissipation/cooling.
Weight is also important, because it’s considered “unsprung weight” which means it’s located below the springs in the suspension. Lighter wheels (less material) provide better handling over uneven pavement.
