Spoke Wheel Generator

What this grid is

Spoke Wheel Generator creates a clean 2D wheel-face pattern as SVG. It focuses on classic rim/spoke structures rather than photoreal 3D rendering, so you can quickly build typical wheel styles for concept graphics, icons, decals, editorial illustrations, and automotive-themed design assets.

The generator combines a rim lip, center cap, center bore, bolt-hole circle, and a repeated spoke family arranged with radial symmetry.

Key parameters

• Spoke Style — Switches between Straight Spoke, Split Spoke, Y-Spoke, and Turbine.
• Spoke Count — Controls how many repeated spokes or blades the wheel face uses.
• Wheel Diameter (px) — Sets the overall SVG size of the wheel face.
• Center Bore Diameter (px) — Controls the opening in the middle of the wheel.
• Bolt Hole Count / Bolt Circle Diameter / Bolt Hole Diameter — Defines the classic lug-hole layout around the center.
• Spoke Inner Radius (%) / Spoke Outer Radius (%) — Controls where the spoke starts and where it ends relative to the wheel radius.
• Spoke Width (px) — Sets the base thickness of each spoke.
• Taper (%) — Narrows the spoke toward the outer end for a more typical rim look.
• Sweep (deg) — Adds directional slant or rotation feel, especially useful for Turbine styles.
• Split Depth (%) / Branch Spread (deg) — Controls where the fork begins and how wide the branches open for Split and Y-Spoke modes.
• Line Width / Line Color / Line Opacity (%) — Controls the outline styling.
• Fill Color / Fill Opacity (%) — Controls the main face color of the rim and spokes.
• Rim Lip Width (px) — Sets the thickness of the outer ring.
• Center Cap Diameter (px) — Controls the circular center cap area around the bore.
• Rotation (deg) — Rotates the full wheel face.

Unique highlights

• Radial, count-driven spoke generation instead of arbitrary clipped geometry.
• Includes center bore, center cap, bolt holes, outer rim lip, and spoke family in one SVG output.
• Supports several classic wheel-face styles without moving into heavy 3D rendering.
• Clean vector output that works well for concept graphics, branding, icons, and automotive-themed illustrations.

Typical use cases

• Automotive-themed vector graphics and icon sets.
• Concept sketches for generic wheel-face variations.
• Poster, decal, and livery design elements.
• Abstract radial backgrounds with a wheel/rim feel.
• Product mockups where you want a clean stylized rim face rather than a photoreal render.

Tips

• Start with Straight Spoke for classic wheel layouts, then move to Split Spoke or Y-Spoke for more modern patterns.
• Use a higher Sweep for Turbine mode to get a stronger directional blade feel.
• Increase Center Cap Diameter if the middle of the wheel feels too visually open.
• Lower Spoke Inner Radius (%) to make the spokes reach further toward the center.
• Raise Rim Lip Width for a more pronounced outer ring.
