OK this took all of 5 minutes...

 

Get reference image, google is a good start ;)

Bring into AutoCAD.

Draw the cross section of the wheel.

And revolve it around a center point

(Edit: be sure to use a closed polyline)

Draw a smaller circle and array it around the wheels center point.

Extrude the holes enough to pass through the center of the wheel.

Subtract the tubes from the wheel and there you go.

You can also use the same method to make the holes for the lugs.

Good luck.

Click two points on the vertical line (as shown in the picture) that is your axis of revolution.

 

You don't actually need the line - but good practice so that you can presicely locate your axis.

The "number thingy" if you are referring to facetres = 10 is so that you don't come back here and ask, "Why does my wheel look like a Fred Flinstone rock? (ugly faceted faces)" (see image posted earlier)

Doesn't really matter - as far as getting revolve to work.

If not pedit - joined (which it should be) it will result in surface rather than solid - but should still work.
