In this work, carbon fiber is used as rim and magnesium alloy as wheel hub for new design of wheel structure, making the material give full play to its properties. We use the technology of simulation analysis, dimension optimization, and topology optimization to analyse the performance of new structure. When the wheel hub meets the requirements of commercial vehicle wheel performance and test methods (GB/T5909-2009), the material weight loss of the product is 48% and the structure weight loss is 13.8%. The accuracy of the simulation and the superiority of the new technology are proved. These methods provide a new way of thinking and method for the study of lightweight technology in the future.
