Abstract:
A wheel, having first and second bead seats which are inclined towards the outside and a cylindrical wall intended for supporting a support ring, constituted by the assembly of: a disc comprising a hub bearing surface, a transition zone and a radially outer edge, the geometry of which constitutes the first seat and a first part of the cylindrical wall, and a rim comprising a plurality of cavities and being such that its radially outer wall corresponds to the second seat and to the complementary part of the cylindrical wall; the assembly being effected at the end of the rim on the side of the disc at the level of the cylindrical wall, on one hand, and at the level of the end of the radially inner wall of the rim, on the other hand.
Abstract:
Wheel for an automobile, in which assembly between the sheet metal disc and the wheel rim is effected under the outer seat of the rim by cylindrical fitting. The profile of the rim may be obtained by a flow spinning process.
