description Limited, expensive, non-recyclable and non-environmentally friendly fuels harm humanity for various reasons. Especially the fuels used in the transportation sector are among the leading factors for polluting the environment. Recently, there have been various studies to save fuel as well as works to reduce emission values of vehicles. In this study, rim design was discussed in aerodynamic vehicle design, which is an important branch of energy saving R&D studies and gained importance especially in the last two decades. The methodology from biology to design, which is one of the biomimetic science study methodologies, was applied. It has been determined that the aerodynamic structure of the rim, which is designed according to the solution proposal of this methodology, reduces the air friction resistance compared to a standard rim model most preferred in the market. Thus, energy was saved and the surface quality of the rim was improved.
