The wheel rims are usually steel or aluminum (generally with steel spokes and an aluminium hub) or 'mag' type [[casting|cast]] or [[machining|machined]] aluminum. At one time, motorcycles all used spoke wheels built up from separate components (see [[wheelbuilding]]), but, except for [[Dirtbikes]], one-piece wheels are more common now. Performance racing motorcycles often use carbon-fiber wheels, but the expense of these wheels is prohibitively high for general usage.
