Abstract: A coated center disk wheel produced from sheet metal for a motor vehicle, which has a wheel-center disk (1) provided with a plurality of connecting eyes (3) which are distributed over a hole circle (2) and have in each case a through-hole (4). Around the hole is a countersink (7) against which rests, in the mounted state of the center disk wheel, the head (9) of a wheel bolt (6) projecting through the respective through-hole (4). Fastened to the wheel hub, at least a part (10) of the surface of each countersink (7) is structured by elevations (11) and indentations (12) located side by side. In the mounted state of the center disk wheel, the wheel bolt heads (9) are in contact only with the elevations (11) on those surfaces (13) which are substantially free of paint (14) with which the remaining surface of the center disk wheel is coated. The paint is removed from the contact surfaces (13) of the elevations (11) on tightening the wheel bolts (6). Loosening of the wheel bolts (6) or wheel nuts during driving is reliably prevented. The wheel bolts or wheel nuts are suitable in the same design also for the mounting of cast aluminum wheels.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a wheel rim equipped with rim flanges that show no deformation or damage even though a reduction in weight is achieved. The wheel is equipped with rim flanges 3 consisting of a double structure in which the end portions across the rim part 2 of width of the rim are folded back to the inside and caused to contact the non-folded portions 3B in a state in which there is no gap. The abovementioned folded portions 3A and non-folded portions 3B have respective thicknesses that are greater than the thickness D1 of the rim part, and curved parts 3C that are smoothly continuous with the surfaces of the non-folded portions 3B are provided on the free end portions of the folded portions 3A.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel assembly includes a hub, a drum, and disc wheels that are mounted together for rotation about a common axis. The hub has a cylindrical body with a hub mounting flange that extends out radially from the body. The body defines an exterior surface having a common drum and wheel pilot. The drum has a drum mounting flange with a peripheral edge that is aligned relative to the drum and wheel pilot. The disc wheels each have wheel mounting flanges with a peripheral edges aligned relative to the drum and wheel pilot. Thus, the drum and wheels are mounted on a common pilot surface formed on the hub. The single pilot significantly reduces the occurrence of drum misalignment and possible drum fracture.
