Wheel plays a vital role of vehicle suspension which guides the static and dynamic load during vehicle action. Four wheeler should withstand the load while carries the heavy load of occupants considering self weight also. So that the automotive industries mostly exploring the polymeric material in order to get lesser weight without substantial loss in vehicle quality and reliability.To achieve this weight reduction the material used for manufacturing the wheel rim should be the composite materials with the identical or superior mechanical properties than the conventional rims. The materials used are Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) materials which are expressed as polyether ether ketone. In this project, analysis of the Car wheel rim is carried out for weight reduction. The results of materials are compared with one another and the one with best mechanical properties is considered as the alternate material for the conventional rim wheel. Using this method, the life cycle of the rim was enhanced to 1*10e6 meet their design requirement. On analysis by implementing different PEEK composites we find that PEEK–90 HMF 20 suits the best for manufactured the wheel rim material.
