Abstract: 

Now a day's an alloy wheels are used in automobiles which are made from an alloy of aluminum or magnesium metals or sometimes a mixture of both. Alloy wheels differ from normal steel wheels because of their lighter weight, which improves the steering and the speed of the car. Alloy wheels will reduce the unsprung weight of a vehicle compared to one fitted with steel wheels. The benefit of reduced unsprung weight is more precise steering as well as a nominal reduction in fuel consumption. Alloy wheels are an excellent conductor of heat, improving heat dissipation from the brakes, reducing the risk of brake failure under demanding driving conditions. At present, four wheeler wheels are made of aluminum alloys. In this work, aluminum alloys are comparing with other alloys. In this work a parametric model is designed for alloy wheel used in four wheeler Design is evaluated by analyzing the model by taking the constraints as ultimate stresses and variables as two different alloy materials and different loads and goals as model is Ford Fiesta
