Best Answer

The wheel hub is visible when the wheel is removed from the vehicle. It is the circular part that is used to actually mount the tire/rim assembly to the machinery of which it is a part. The hub assembly acts as a carrier for the mounting lugs/bolts, and generally for the wheel bearings.
