''Wheels'' is an Australian automotive magazine published monthly by Bauer Media Group. The publication is well-renowned by Australian car enthusiasts. Its main competitor within the Australian market is ''Motor'', though ''Wheels'' and ''Motor'' are stablemates in the Bauer Media Group catalogue and are aimed at slightly different readers as ''Motor'' concentrates on performance cars. Wheels magazine is Australian only and can be found at stores such as newsagents. ==History== ''Wheels'' was founded in May 1953 by editor Athol Yeomans. With the help of a colleague, Yeomans planned the first copy of ''Wheels'' in a stationery room of Hudson Publications in Sydney. Since 1963, ''Wheels'' have annually announced their Car of the Year award, although this has been withheld in 1972, 1979 and 1986. It was announced in September 2010 that Bill Thomas, former deputy editor of ''BBC Top Gear Magazine'' in the UK, would take over as editor in November 2010. In October 2012, it was announced that former ''Top Gear Australia'' magazine editor Stephen Corby was to become editor of ''Wheels'', replacing Bill Thomas.〔(Tim Lince for Media News on Thursday, 11 October 2012, ''Corby jumps motor to join Wheels'', influencing.com )〕 For the October 2013 issue, Ben Oliver drove a Volvo S60 Polestar from Melbourne to Sydney along the Hume Highway, and Wheels launched the "Raise the limit, lower the toll" petition to raise the speed limit to 130 km/h, as it is in the Northern Territory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wheels (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
