To which part of the vehicle are the wheels attached?
Mechanics (different vehicle systems)
Explanation
The **wheels** of a vehicle are composed of two main parts: the **rim** and the **tire**. The rim is the inner metal part, while the tire is the outer elastic rubber part that is placed around the rim.
For the wheels to rotate correctly and support the weight of the vehicle, it is essential that they are well balanced. This is achieved by adding weight to the rims, which ensures that the wheels rotate evenly and stably.
The wheels are attached to the **hub**, which is the part of the vehicle where the rims are mounted. The hub allows the wheels to rotate freely and stay in place while the vehicle is in motion. Therefore, the correct answer is that the wheels are attached to the **hub**.
