A hubcap for a heavy-duty duty vehicle that includes mounting structure that is formed with and cooperates with a side wall of the hubcap to provide a stiff, rigid structure that enables non-cantilevered connection to a wheel hub. The mounting structure can be a plurality of elongated bosses circumferentially spaced about the side wall that are formed with corresponding elongated bolt openings to enable the non-cantilevered attachment to the wheel hub. The elongated bosses cooperate with the hubcap side wall to provide a stiffened or rigid structure between the elongated bolt openings for increased and more uniform clamping force on a sealing gasket between the hubcap and the wheel hub. The hubcap profile provides clearance for removal of an outboard mounted disc brake rotor in heavy-duty vehicle wheel end assemblies that include such rotor configurations. The hubcap may support simple mounting of a hub odometer.

The present invention relates to an in-wheel motor. The in-wheel motor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a circular rim to which a tire is coupled by being wrapped around an outer ring thereof and a shaft is connected by passing through a center thereof; a motor assembly which is disposed in an inner portion of the rim and includes a stator connected to the shaft and a rotor disposed to be wrapped around the stator and configured to rotate; a cover coupled to cover one open side surface of the rim and configured to seal the inner portion of the rim; and a lead-out wire entry/exit portion waterproof structure configured to seal an entry/exit portion for a lead-out wire connected to supply power from outside of the in-wheel motor to the inner portion of the rim via a hollow portion of the shaft, wherein the lead-out wire entry/exit portion waterproof structure includes an elastic stopper, to which the lead-out wire is connected to pass through a center thereof and which is configured to be elastically contracted after being inserted into the hollow portion of the shaft in an axial direction and seal between the hollow portion of the shaft and the lead-out wire, and a stopper fixing body fastened to the shaft and configured to press the elastic stopper in the axial direction so that the elastic stopper is inserted and fixed inside the hollow portion of the shaft.

The invention relates generally to the field of vehicle rims, and more specifically to Logo Rims or Dual Logo Rims. The invention also relates to a vehicle Dual or 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. The inventive rims can be a single unit rim or two separate rims that are joined to form a single tire rim.

An automobile wheel having a hub and a cap assembly configured to removably attach to the hub is provided herein. The cap assembly includes a base component, a lug hole cover, and a center cap. The base component is removably coupled to the hub, and includes a cylindrical portion with an outer threaded surface that extends outward from the hub when the base component is coupled to the hub. The lug hole cover removably fits over the cylindrical portion of the base component to cover the plurality of lug hole openings of the hub. Additionally, the center cap is removably coupled to the base component and retain the lug hole cover against the hub.

A cover for a rim of a wheel of a vehicle. The cover, with fastening of the cover on the rim, can be arranged in at least partially overlap with a through opening of the rim delimited in the circumferential direction of the rim by respective spokes of the rim, whereby the through opening can be at least partially covered by the cover. The cover is directionally formed and has at least two slats, which delimit at least one channel arranged between the slats, through which air can flow in the installed position of the cover diagonally to a plane extending perpendicularly to the axial direction of the rim. The slats at least partially mutually overlap with respect to the installed position of the cover in the circumferential direction of the rim and along the axial direction of the rim.
