This paper presents the optimisation of an octopus type car rim in which first critical zones have been found and then optimum thickness has been investigated using an elasto-plastic analysis. In this study, three dimensional finite elements method has been used for conducting elasto-plastic analysis. In the finite element analysis, the elements forming the meshes are hexahedral linear elements with eight nodes. Twelve different meshes were used. A quadrant of rim is exploited due to its symmetric shape. The theoretical results have been compared with experimental ones. It seems that the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental ones. The results were given in tables, graphics and figures.
