    Abstract: An automotive passenger vehicle full face wheel having a sheet metal disc-rim including a central bolt circle mounting portion, an intermediate portion extending generally radially outwardly therefrom and an outer peripheral portion surrounding the intermediate portion having an outboard tire bead retaining flange. The rim part includes a rim edge portion extending circumferentially continuously adjacent the rim outboard lead seat and permanently joined by a continuous weld to the disc-rim outer peripheral portion. In a first embodiment the disc-rim intermediate portion has an outboard-concave bowl shape with a radius of curvature ranging about 10.50 to about 11.00 inches. The bolt circle mounting portion has pad surfaces defining a wheel mounting plane and a frusto conical transition portion outboard divergent therefrom joined integrally to the bowl portion by an annular bend portion spaced axially from the mounting plane about 0.75 to 1.50 inches. In a second embodiment the disc-rim intermediate bowl portion is integrally joined to the outer peripheral portion at a bend junction radially spaced inwardly from the rim edge flange portion about 14.30 to 13.71 inches. The disc-rim bowl portion has a radius of curvature of about 10.50 to 11.00 inches and the wheel offset dimension is about 1.0 to 1.25 inches.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus, and a modified wheel made thereby for varying the wheel offset dimension of an automotive vehicle full face wheel of the type disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,610,482 and having a predetermined first wheel offset dimension. The disc-rim part is formed in progressive die tooling of a transfer press operable for multiple stage successive forming, from a flat circular blank, the disc-rim part into the final die formed shape thereof having the given styling configuration. A wheel offset shift zone portion is first selected in the disc-rim part, consisting of the outer peripheral portion and/or the central bolt circle mounting portion of this part. The selected portion is shifted axially of the wheel a predetermined distance to thereby provide a second predetermined wheel offset dimension, different from the first such dimension, when the disc-rim part is joined to the rim. Then a corresponding predetermined wheel forming offset dimensional change modification is made in the first draw stage of the press tooling. A spacer is provided having a predetermined selected thickness dimension sized and installed to shift only a selected portion of the tooling and utilized in the draw stage to form shift the selected offset zone of the disc-rim by a distance corresponding to the difference between the first and second wheel offset dimensions. Corollary spacers are likewise installed in the remaining successive stages of the transfer press tooling in those areas engaging the selected offset shift zone to thereby accommodate the first draw stage offset change.

    Abstract: A wheel lug nut having a laminated nut and an attached nose that is shaped to be interfitted with the nut seat of the wheel. In use, the nose centers both the lug nut relative to the wheel bolt it receives and the wheel relative to the axle hub. The laminated nut includes a plurality of conical disc springs enclosed in a cage. When properly tightened, the disc springs deform to impart additional gripping force on the wheel bolt. Accordingly, the laminated nut provides additional resistance to loosening, even when used with a non-ferrous wheel. In one embodiment, the nose is attached to the cage, for example, by snap-fitting onto the base of the cage. The wheel lug nut may also include a removable decorative cap that encloses and protects the cage and the wheel bolt. The decorative cap may be removably attached to the nose.
