How it's used
While 車輪 is the standard term, native speakers almost exclusively use 車轆 in casual, everyday speech. Using 車輪 can sound slightly more technical or formal, similar to how one might distinguish between a tire and a wheel in English. It is perfectly acceptable in writing, but you will sound more natural using 車轆 when talking about your car or bicycle.

Common mistake
Learners often use 車輪 for the rubber tire itself, but it specifically refers to the entire wheel assembly. If you are talking about the rubber part that touches the road, use 輪胎 or the more common colloquial term 轆胎.
