Wheel

A wheel is a circular component, intended to rotate about an axis to facilitate or simplify movement, transportation or performing labor in machines. It is one of the two main components of the Wheel and axle, one of the six simple mechanisms. It may have a tyre added to the outer rim to improve grip or cushion impacts.
