Abstract: A vehicle wheel assembly includes a wheel disc and a rim that are welded together. The wheel disc includes a full face disc portion with a disc lip extending in an inboard direction. The rim includes a main rim body with a rim lip that extends in an outboard direction, and which is in an overlapping relationship with the disc lip. The rim lip is defined by a smaller diameter than the disc lip such that the disc lip engages an outer peripheral surface of the rim lip. A weld is formed along a distal end of the disc lip to secure the wheel disc and rim together. This provides a vehicle wheel assembly that has a full, flat face, flangeless appearance.
