First you have to deside how many spokes the rim should have, I selected 6 for mine, therefor i start with a cylinger with 12 sides, (5 spokes = 10 sides and so on, i hope you get the point) and add 1 Cap Segment also. Pic1

Select the faces like in pic2, and + bevel them alittle. (in edit mesh, and use local setting) pic2

Then on the same faces you make a litte + extrude(localy), and then bevel again, but this time a - bevel so it looks like in pic3. pic3
