An integrally formed wheel for cooling a brake assembly of a vehicle, comprising a barrel for mounting a tire thereon, a center disc, and a plurality of spokes. The barrel extends from an outboard face to an inboard rim edge and defines a chamber radially inside the barrel. The chamber is located adjacent a brake mechanism when the wheel is on a vehicle. The center disc has a center bore and a plurality of lug holes. A plurality of spokes interconnects the center disc to the barrel. A plurality of cooling passageways is integrally formed with the barrel, the spokes and the center disc. The plurality of passageways is disposed circumferentially around the spokes and extend from the outboard face to a location inside the barrel to direct air into the chamber through the passageways when the wheel is in rotation.
