What are the factors that are taken into consideration when designing a car wheel?

How to desing a car wheel?

Answer:

Obvious considerations: strength, standard size, aesthetics, materials, manufacturing cost
Safety Aesthetics Cost Weight of the wheel Diameter of the wheel Thickness of the wheel Horsepower vs friction, rolling and starting There are limits for the minimum amount of material for a given size wheel. Aluminum alloys have a known ability to resist stress and strain. The wheel designers probably use 2-3 times the amount of material 'girth' required for additional safety.
