A wheel includes a rim having an outer radius, R1, extending from a center point of the wheel to an outer edge of the rim, and a hub having an outer radius, R2, extending from the center point of the wheel to an outer edge of the hub. The hub is positioned coaxially with the rim and has a plurality of circumferentially positioned and equiangularly spaced bolt holes for attachment of the wheel to the vehicle. The wheel further includes a plurality of equiangularly spaced, Y-shaped spokes having a trunk portion contacting the hub, two limb portions each contacting the rim, and a branch point at which the trunk portion and limb portions converge. The spokes extend radially outward from the hub to the rim. The bolt holes are interspaced between the trunk portions. A distance between the center point of the wheel and the branch point is D1.
