Abstract

See full text

A vehicle wheel e.g. for passenger cars, having a disc part connected to a rim part, the disc part, integrally formed form a sheet metal blank, has a central part with bolt holes for wheel bolts and a central hole for a vehicle hub, and a plurality of radially extending spoke arrangements for transmitting forces between the vehicle hub and the rim part. Each spoke arrangement is provided with a central web, merging on both sides into a radially extending side web, being bent outwards from the surface of the central web, and an edge web, bent back again relative to the side web, wherein the radially outer ends of the webs merge into a disc rim, being aligned parallel to the wheel axis, connecting all spoke arrangements to one another and delimiting ventilation holes. In order to provide, without structural drawbacks, steel vehicle wheels with an unequal number of bolt holes and spoke arrangements, an inner annular bead and an outer annular bead are formed in the central part, which beads are concentric with one another and with the disc rim, and a raised annular strip provided with the bolt holes is formed between the beads.
