I got the saab winter tire package for my 2000 9-5 Aero, which are nice 7-spoke alloys, but it got me to thinking -
I've seen wheels in 3-spoke, 5-spoke, and higher multi-spoke designs, but I've never seen a 4-spoke wheel. Why not? If 3 spokes can handle the stress and weight of the car, why not 4?
Obviously a one-spoke wheel wouldn't work, and I'll bet a 2-spoke design would vibrate too much (or else be too heavy), but no 4's?
Inquiring minds want to know.
