Best way to unwrap wheels for a Normal baking

Morning guys,
Is there a best way to create uvw in order to bake a Wheel without too much distortion? Any information? Lin or tut?

.Wiki

You can planar-map the sides of the wheel and create a cylindrical unwrap for the thread part. Below is a map i created for a vehicle. The thread and inner part of the wheel are mapped cylindrical. The uvs of the threads are stacked to save texture space.

hi Wiki
intersting and I preferred to keep them straight also in the side to paints logos which becomes automatically circular when the map is apllied.
Sry for the poor english!
