Correct answer

  • CAl bujeThe hub
Explanation

The wheel is a high-precision metal part. It is designed and standardised for the vehicle it is made for, and a wheel must not be fitted to the wrong vehicle. The wheels are attached with nuts or bolts to a part called the hub, in the centre of the brake discs or drums.
