If the centre line of the rim is located inside of the fixing face of the disc, then it is a

A. Zeroset wheel

B. Inset wheel

C. Outset wheel

D. None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Imagine a wheel lying flat on the ground. The fixing face is the part of the wheel that touches the car's hub (where the wheel bolts on).

The center line of the rim is an imaginary line that runs right down the middle of the wheel's width.

Now, the question asks: What happens if that center line is *inside* the fixing face? Think of it like this: the wheel's center is "pushed in" relative to where it mounts on the car.

* Inset wheel: An inset wheel means the wheel's mounting surface (fixing face) is located *outward* further than the wheel's centerline. Therefore, the wheel's centerline lies *inside* the fixing face. This is your answer!

* Outset wheel: An outset wheel is the opposite. The wheel's mounting surface is closer to the centerline of the vehicle, meaning the wheel will stick out from the car further.

* Zeroset wheel: A zeroset wheel is where the mounting surface is exactly in line with the centerline of the wheel.

Therefore, the correct answer is Inset wheel (Option B).
