Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle wheel which can be manufactured at low cost, exhibits superior design characteristics, and with which mechanical strength can be adequately ensured. The vehicle wheel has a construction that is split into an outer-rim member that constitutes an outer-rim part, and a wheel-constituting member comprising an integral molding that constitutes an inner-rim part and disk part, wherein the outer-rim member end portion on the attachment face side is formed so as to be capable of fitting over the wheel-constituting member; an annular groove is formed in the engaging face of the wheel-constituting member which engages with the outer-rim member; and the outer-rim member is integrally fastened to the wheel-constituting member by press-fitting the outer-rim member end portion on the attachment face side inside the annular groove.
