A wheel includes a rim and a wheel center interconnected to the rim. The wheel center includes at least one spoke extending from a wheel hub to the rim in a radial direction. The rim includes per the at least one spoke a first contact area and the at least one spoke includes at its outer end a second contact area which in a mounted position is aligned to the first contact area. The at least one spoke includes at least one hollow space extending in the radial direction of the spoke.

A brake rotor includes a friction portion, a hat portion axially extending from the friction portion and including a top face that is axially displaced from the friction portion and a side wall that extends from the friction portion to the top face, and a nose portion which extends axially from the top face of the hat portion away from the friction portion.

An electrical passenger car, the electrical passenger car including: at least two electrically driven motors; motor control electronics; sensors; and wheels, where the wheels include a first wheel and a second wheel, where the second wheel has a radius at least 7% greater than a radius of the first wheel, and where the motor control electronics control the at least two electrically driven motors to provide a greater torque to the second wheel than to the first wheel.

A wheel rim having a central axis and comprising a central hub configured to be fixed to a suspension of a vehicle; a peripheral ring, which is arranged around the hub with a predetermined radial distance from the hub itself and is configured to receive a tire of the vehicle on a radially outermost surface thereof; a plurality of spokes equally spaced angularly from one another around the axis and connecting the peripheral ring to the hub; and at least one projection protruding in a cantilever fashion towards the hub, starting from a radially innermost surface of the peripheral ring, opposite to the radially outermost surface, and defining an airfoil configured to generate, in use, during the forward travel of the vehicle, a channelling of the air towards the outside of the wheel rim.

A method for producing an automobile rim made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a wheel of an automobile, the automobile rim having a rim bed bounded on opposite sides by an outer flange and an inner flange, a hub with a center recess and a bolt circle, as well as a rim center connecting the rim bed and the hub to one another, the rim center being designed with a plurality of spokes spaced apart in the circumferential direction with respect to the longitudinal center axis of the automobile rim. The automobile rim is produced in one piece and continuously in a casting mold by die casting of a casting material, wherein the automobile rim has, at least in some areas, a low wall thickness not exceeding 15 mm.

A wheel of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, has a rim, a hub portion, and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least two adjoining spokes are connected to each other by at least one connecting web which is arranged in a space between the spokes, is not attached to the rim and the hub portion, and extends at least approximately in the circumferential direction of the wheel.

An automobile wheel can include an outer rim, a hub, and a plurality of lug accessories. The hub, which is generally at the center of the automobile wheel, can have a plurality of lug holes. The plurality of lug accessories can be partially disposed in some, but not all, of the lug holes while leaving the remaining lug holes open. The open lug holes can receive a threaded stud from an automobile wheel hub assembly when the automobile wheel is mounted to the automobile wheel hub assembly. Each lug accessory can have a lug stud and a lug cap. The lug stud can have a flange and a linear member, with the linear member attached to the flange and extending to a free end. The flange can contact a rear surface of the hub when the linear member is inserted into a lug hole. The lug cap can extend over and couple to an opposite end of the linear member from the flange.
