Then, add your fillets. Break the sharp corners with a 6 radius fillet. I did this in five places. I also turned off the sketch relations so that you could see the sketch better. (Pull down the "View" menu and uncheck Sketch Relations). Exit the sketch.

With the sketch selected in the FeatureManager design tree, click the Revolved Boss/Base button from the Features CommandManager tab, or pull down the "Insert" menu and pick Boss/Base - Revolve. In the graphics area, pick the centerline of the sketch that goes through the origin. In the Revolve PropertyManager, make sure that the Angle is set to 360 and click OK.

That's the first step to creating the wheel. Next, you are going to prepare for your cut that will reveal the spokes. To do this, create a new sketch on the Front plane, and sketch the two centerlines as shown below. Make sure that the angled centerline in coincident to the front edge line as shown by the black endpoint.

Exit the sketch. Now you are going to create a new plane by copying the Right plane at the endpoint of your angled centerline. To do this, in the FeatureManager design tree, click on Right Plane so that it is shown in the graphics area. Then, hold down the Ctrl key and drag the plane in the graphics area to the right and let go of the mouse button. In the graphics area, pick the endpoint of the angled centerline as shown below. Once the preview is correct, click OK in the Plane PropertyManager.

Start a sketch on the new plane that you just created. Pick the the outside circle and click Convert Entities from the "Sketch" toolbar in the CommandManager, or pull down the "Tools" menu and pick Sketch Tools - Convert Entities. Then create a small circle at the lower endpoint of the angled centerline from the previous sketch. Add two tangent angled lines, and then trim everything up as shown below. Right click on the top arc and pick Select Midpoint from the menu. Hold down the Ctrl key and pick the centerpoint of the small arc. In the Properties PropertyManager, pick the Vertical relation and click OK. Finally, add the two dimensions shown and exit the sketch.

With the sketch selected in the FeatureManager design tree, click the Extruded Cut button from the Features CommandManager tab, or pull down the "Insert" menu and pick Cut - Extrude. In the Extrude PropertyManager, set the End Condition to Through All. Click in the Direction of Extrusion box. Then, pick the angled centerline from the graphics area, and then click OK.

Start a sketch on the Front plane and draw the sketch below. Make sure that the left most vertical line is Coincident to the Origin and the rightmost vertical line is Collinear to the right edge of the part, as shown below. Exit the sketch.

the Features CommandManager tab, or pull down the "Insert" menu and pick Cut - Revolve. In the Cut-Revolve PropertyManager, click in the Axis of Revolution box. Then, pick the bottom horizontal line in the sketch. Make sure the Angle is set to 360 and then click OK.
Now, in the next step, you will create a circular pattern to create the rest of the spoke and lug nut holes. All you have to do is click the Circular Pattern button from the Features CommandManager tab, or pull down the "Insert" menu and pick Pattern - Circular. In the CirPattern PropertyManager, click in the Features to Pattern box and then, in the flyout design tree, pick the Extrude and the Cut-Revolve. In the graphics area, pick the centerline of the part. Make sure that the Angle is set to 360 and set the Number of Instances to '5'. Click OK.

This is where you can play with the number of spokes by changing the Number of Instances. Equal spacing is easier to do than trying to calculate the angles manually.

Lastly, start a sketch on the Front plane and draw the following sketch. Make sure that the right side is Collinear to Plane1 and the top line of the sketch is Collinear to the bottom edge of the part.
Then, add your fillets. Start with the largest fillets first and work your way down. I also turned off the sketch relations so that you could see the sketch better. (Pull down the "View" menu and uncheck Sketch Relations). Exit the sketch.
