Jia Congshan—Gold Award Winner: a masterful fusion of professional design and aesthetic sensibility. Inspired by the scales of the dragon, this piece boasts an exceptionally three-dimensional texture, a striking sense of geometric order and visual tension, and a high-tech juxtaposition of black background with golden patterns that exudes cutting-edge sophistication. Even in static form, it delivers a dynamic visual experience, with a luxurious tactile quality and unmistakable brand identity.

Come experience its sense of oppression!

A fiery red battle flag

That cute pink one is here to trick you into thinking it’s a girl—have any of you guys noticed? It’s got fully enclosed wheels.

An incredibly complex diamond-shaped surface—let your imagination run wild and envision the craftsmanship involved!

A sexy lady is walking straight toward you—have you got the red wine ready?

The fish-tail design is truly distinctive: each individual tail is a classic triangle, with hollowed-out sections between the arrays to reduce weight and distribute force evenly around the circumference. This bold, lively, and open approach makes it a standout work by an exceptional designer.

The surface finish leans toward a ceramic texture, and in recent years, products that mimic this ceramic look have become increasingly common.

Reflections on the 2025 “Jiuzhou Cup” Global Wheel Design Competition

This exhibition has profoundly underscored how the competition, with “Driving Vision and Symbiosis” at its core, brings together global creativity to showcase the Eastern aesthetic and technological prowess of wheel design. Gold-winning entries such as “Dragon Scales” seamlessly integrate traditional culture, lightweight manufacturing techniques, and aerodynamics, demonstrating fresh conceptual thinking, exquisite craftsmanship, and strong practical applicability—all hallmarks of the industry’s highest standards.

This competition is not only a platform for creative excellence but also a hub for integrating industry, academia, and research, showcasing China’s wheel design industry’s transformative leap from “catching up” to “leading the way.” All participants have broken new ground with meticulous craftsmanship and empowered innovation, earning our utmost respect and admiration.

Looking ahead, we aspire to draw on the best of what has come before and apply it to our work, integrating cultural confidence, technological innovation, and practical aesthetics into design and production. We look forward to a steady stream of talented professionals and an abundance of outstanding works, collectively propelling China’s automotive wheel industry to new global heights!
