A vehicle wheel having a rim part to which a tire is mounted and a vehicle body attachment part which is attached to a vehicle body, in which the rim part has, on an inner circumferential surface thereof, a plurality of fins each having a heat dissipation surface, and in which the fins are arranged periodically along a circumferential direction.

A retainer for a segmented annular heat shield of a wheel includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. Both the first end and the second end are configured to be coupled to at least one of the wheel and a torque bar. Further, the body includes opposing longitudinal sides configured to respectively engage and secure a respective heat shield segment of the segmented annular heat shield. Also, the retainer includes a cover coupled to and extending over at least the body, with an air gap being defined between the body and the cover.

The invention relates to a vehicle rim having a rim body made from a fiber composite material, the rim body having two rim flange areas and a rim bed area connecting the two rim flange areas, and at least one rim flange area being reinforced by at least one fiber bundle and this at least one fiber bundle being surrounded by a compression wrap. The invention also relates to a vehicle wheel with the vehicle rim and to a production method for the vehicle rim.

A wheel and a rim with weight reduction sockets are provided. The rim includes an inner flange, a middle portion and an outer flange, the inner flange, middle portion and outer flange are all annular and are connected end to end to form a cylindrical rim, in which the middle portion of the rim includes weight reduction sockets; and the weight reduction sockets are of regular hexagons, and are arranged adjacently on the outer side of the middle portion of the rim in the shape of a honeycomb. The weight of the hub is reduced by designing the weight reduction sockets in a specific shape for the outer rim of the hub and selecting the size of the weight reduction sockets.

A non-pneumatic wheel (100) including a hub (300) and a non-pneumatic tire (102), as well as a method for mounting the non-pneumatic tire (102) onto the hub (300). The hub (300) is formed, with grooves (318) that receive the radially-inner ends (110) of spokes (106) of the non-pneumatic tire (102). To secure the tire (102) onto the hub (300) during assembly, the grooves (318) with the radially inner ends (110) of the spokes (106) received therein are pulled radially inward to decrease the diameter of the hub (300) and increase tension in the spokes (106).

A marked wheel rim is provided, including: a rim body and a mark. The rim body includes an outer surface. The mark is embedded on the outer surface and includes an outer peripheral edge adjacent to the rim body. The outer peripheral edge is non-protrusive beyond the outer surface. A method for manufacturing the marked wheel rim is further provided.
