Competition prestige

The 13th Jiuzhou Cup Wheel Design Competition in 2025 is one of the oldest, most influential, and most professional wheel design competitions in China. It is known as the "Oscars" of the Chinese wheel design industry, a "weathervane" in the field, and the top hall of fame for wheel design in China.

Industry authoritative endorsement

Jointly organized by leading domestic wheel manufacturers and authoritative institutions, the judging panel consists of top global automotive design masters, materials science experts, and engineering technology leaders. The judging criteria are stringent, representing the highest professional level of wheel design in China.

Large scale of competition

Every year, it attracts hundreds of outstanding entries from universities, design institutions, and automotive companies across the country, covering the entire design chain from concept creation to engineering implementation, making the competition extremely fierce.

Outstanding industrial value

The winning entries will not only receive high attention from the industry, but also have the opportunity to directly connect with mass production resources and become wheel products that are actually installed on mass-produced vehicles. They are a key stepping stone for designers to move from "creativity" to "market".

The fact that Zhou Chujie won awards for two of his works at the same time fully demonstrates his design strength and creative breadth, and also highlights Jiangsu Gate's core competitiveness in the field of wheel design.

A thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, reborn on its wheel.

Industrial translation of a billion-year cultural heritage

The design inspiration for "Ginkgo" comes from this ancient plant that has traversed hundreds of millions of years.

Ginkgo Leaf Plugin

Inspired by the classic shape and warm yellow color scheme of the ginkgo tree, the wheels exude an autumnal poetic charm.

Leaf Vein Plugin

Extracting the fresh veins and verdant hues of new ginkgo leaves, restoring the vitality of natural growth.

Center cover design

The image of ginkgo fruits clustered at the center symbolizes a spirit of continuous symbiosis and renewal.

Wheel shape

The design mimics the branching structure of a winding tree trunk, giving the wheels a solid and stable visual presence.

The final "Ginkgo" wheel hub is not only a design work, but also a vivid carrier of industrial aesthetics and natural culture.

The vast starry sky, exploration never ends

Visual expression of the unknown and exploration

"Starry Night" is inspired by humanity's yearning for the universe, capturing the vast galaxy within a single frame.

Starry Sky Plugin

The purple paint with glitter recreates the depth and brilliance of a nebula.

Nebula Center Cover

Shaped like a pink six-pointed star, it symbolizes the mysterious nebula at the center of the universe.

Hub structure

The strong geometric lines, like interstellar routes, convey the courage to explore the unknown.

The work perfectly embodies the spirit of "the unknown lies ahead, and exploration never stops." With its unique science fiction aesthetics and engineering feasibility, it was successfully shortlisted and won the Excellence Award.
