        abstract = {Today’s interest in metal alloys for automotive applications relies on the mixture of high strength properties and denseness. For this reason magnesium alloys are terribly enticing as structural materials wherever weight savings are of great concern. In automotive applications weight reduction will improve the performance of a vehicle by reducing the rolling resistance and energy of acceleration, therefore reducing the fuel consumption and furthermore a discount of the greenhouse gas and greenhouse emission is achieved. Wheel rim is an inseparable part of associate degree automobile. Its main functions are to help propulsion of a vehicle on the road similarly as withstand against the vehicle weight and sensible conditions like turning and braking, environmental conditions. In automobile, a wheel rotate unceasingly during propulsion thus total load on a vehicle induces alternating fatigue stress during a wheel rim. So as to sustain all masses and sensible conditions wheel materials should be of good quality. Magnesium alloy is that the lightest of all metals used as a basis for constructional alloys. It is this property that entices automobile makers to replace denser materials, not solely steels, solid irons and copper base alloys, however even Al alloys by magnesium primarily based alloys. The necessity to scale back the weight of automobile elements as an end in a part of the introduction of legislation limiting emission has triggered renewed interest in metal. The expansion rate over the next ten years has been forecast to be 7- percent once a year. A wider use of metal base alloys necessitates many parallel programs. These are classified as alloy development, method development: improvement and design issues. Metal encompasses a long history in automotive applications. The decrease of metal use in automotive applications within the seventies was greatly connected to its prize volatility and additionally to lack of data. Stricter legislative rules (CAFE) and voluntary commitments to reduce the typical fuel consumption have these days revived the interest in magnesium. The aim of this paper is to review the influence of magnesium in properties of existing wheel rim material},
