I'm no mechanical engineer, but I think there's some tensegrity action going on, where even the horizontal spokes are helping to support the weight of the car by holding the rim in a circular shape so the forces can be transferred down to the ground.
Maybe tensegrity is the wrong word to describe it, but it's a similar phenomenon, where all the parts of the system work together. |
