The finite element method is used to simulate the radial test of aluminum wheel. The simulated results are compared with strain measurements by strain gages to verify the accuracy of the finite element model. Compared with the results of the test, the simulation can predict a reasonable fatigue life of aluminum wheel under radial test. 　　For the parameter design, the finite element method is integrated with Taguchi method to design a optimum wheel with minimum weight under the constraint of the fatigue strength. The results show that 14 percent weight can be reduced with the proposed method.
