-The ancient Mesopotamians invented the wheel originally in the form of a potter’s wheel. It then developed into a solid wooden disk with a hole in the middle for an axle. To make the wheel lighter and more practical the spoked wheel was developed. The [[Greece|Greeks]] used this type of spoked wheel. The [[Celts]] introduced a [[bronze]] rim around the outside of the wood to strengthen the structure. That was how the wheel remained, withot major modifications, until the [[19th century|1800’s]] when rubber (made from latex) tires started being developed.
