A wheel blank outer rim scribing device is composed of a wheel positioning and clamping system, an upper auxiliary system, a lower auxiliary system, a rim scribing system and a vision detection system. The wheel positioning and clamping system completes positioning of a wheel on a roller bed, clamping and rotating drive; the upper auxiliary system improves the axial positioning precision and power assisting rotation of the wheel; the lower auxiliary system improves the radial positioning precision and power assisting rotation of the wheel; the rim scribing system completes groove ridge machining of the outer rim of the wheel; and the vision detection system detects blanks having insufficient outer rim machining allowance. The device not only can scribe ridges on the outer rim of the wheel, but also can check the blanks having insufficient outer rim machining allowance.

A rotary flow forming apparatus for producing light alloy rims contains a main spindle with a clamping apparatus for a rim blank. An outer pressure roller is provided and is deliverable radially from the outside in and is movable parallel to the spindle axis, for producing an outer contour of the light alloy rim. The apparatus does not require massive internal dies and thereby significantly reduces the production costs and significantly improves the efficiency of rim production, which is achieved by the fact that the rotary flow forming apparatus has an inner pressure roller for generating an inner contour of the light alloy rim, which is arranged in the region of the inner side of the rim blank opposite the outer pressure roller and is mounted so as to be movable parallel to the spindle axis, rotatable, and deliverable radially from the inside outward to the rim blank.

The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle rims, and more specifically relates to Logo-Rims The present invention also relates to a vehicle Logo-Rim apparatus, and a method of making same. More particularly, the invention encompasses a customized tire rim for a vehicle. The invention also provides a user to replace their existing tire rims with the inventive customized vehicle rim having, and using a customized or a personalized logo. A line of specially designed tire rims that are adorned with a variety of striking designs, sporting logos germane to sports, businesses, and popular culture, is also disclosed. The invention also provides an inventive design which is intended to provide automobile enthusiasts with an attractive alternative to ordinary tire rims.
