The geometric shape of passenger car wheels can have a large influence on the aerodynamic drag of a vehicle as it has been shown already in different publications. In combination, tire and rim cause approximately 25% of the overall drag. Until now, the challenge for aerodynamicists is to find the rim / tire combination with the best aerodynamic characteristics, which then is used for the official cD-value of the vehicle and for the determination of fuel consumption according to NEFZ regulations.
