context_page_description: The wobbly-web wheel is a form of metal disc wheel where the disc is 'wobbled' into spokes. This provides a stiffer, lightweight wheel.
  Wobbly-web wheels are best known through their iconic use on Lotus racing cars of the late 1950s and 1960s.
context_section_description: Aircraft with cast light alloy wheels appeared in the 1930s. A common form in British military practice used a single-thickness disc, displaced sideways in sharp-edged segments and joined by radial webs. Such wheels were fitted to, amongst others, the Spitfire. This basic design served with little change into the 1960s and the jet age.
  The first distinctly wobbled web appeared on the Convair CV-240 of 1948. This used a wheel cast with nine narrow radial spokes formed from a curved disc.
