How many spokes can a wheel lose before it completely fails? 😳 #car #carlovers

Autos and Vehicles

This started as one of those ideas that sounds really stupid… Then I actually did it. I kept cutting spokes off a wheel and driving the car after each cut to see what would happen. At first? Almost no difference. Then came vibrations. Then came the point where every bump felt like a terrible decision. The crazy part is how long the wheel keeps surviving even after you’ve removed way more material than you’d expect. Now obviously don’t try this yourself. This was done just to see where the limit actually is.
