A wheel for a two-track motor vehicle has a rim, a hub, and multiple spokes arranged distributed in the circumferential direction and each having a radially inner end and a radially outer end. The hub is arranged asymmetrically relative to a vertical wheel central plane extending perpendicular to a rotational axis direction of the wheel. Each spoke is connected to the rim by its respective radially outer end and connected to the hub by its radially inner end, such that the rim is connected to the hub via the spokes. In terms of a functional installation state of the wheel in a vehicle, at least two of the spokes are secured to the rim with their radially outer ends in different positions in the vehicle transverse direction and/or at least two of the spokes are secured to the hub with their radially inner ends in different positions in the vehicle transverse direction.

A decorative cap and fastener for fastening a wheel to a hub of a vehicle are provided. The fastener includes a fastener head including an outer surface and an internal surface defining a cavity. The cap includes an end wall having an external surface and an internal surface. The cap further includes a side wall extending from an outer periphery of the end wall. The cap also includes a central member extending longitudinally from the internal surface of the end wall within the side wall.

A bicycle rim basically includes a first annular side surface portion, a second annular side surface portion, an annular connecting portion and an outermost layer. The first annular side surface portion includes a first braking surface. The second annular side surface portion includes a second braking surface. The epoxy resin layer is an example of a nonmetallic layer. The annular connecting portion connects the first and second annular side surface portions. The soft additive granules are disposed in at least one of the first and second annular side surface portions. The epoxy resin layer is disposed in at least one of the first and second annular side surface portions. The soft additive granules are at least partially embedded in the epoxy resin layer. The outermost layer covers the epoxy resin layer and the soft additive granules.

A vehicle wheel includes a wheel substrate made of metal and a colored coating layer located on a surface of the wheel substrate. An outer side surface of the wheel includes a first region, a second region, and a groove located between the first and second regions. The colored coating layer covering the wheel substrate is located over the groove. A color of the surface of the wheel substrate is visible at least in the first or second region.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) illumination is provided to various aspects of vehicle wheels, including wheel covers and wheel spinners. Unlike after-market add-on illumination, the wheel covers and wheel spinners described herein are built into and integrated with the wheel covers and wheel spinners, providing safe and effective illumination for the user. The wheel covers and wheel spinners can include a centrally located power supply and a switch. An optional cover may be disposed over the LEDs. With the LEDs formed into the wheel, the optional covers may be flush with and shaped in a shape to match the wheel. The wheels may be wheels from cars, trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, golf carts and the like.

A power supply device used for a wheel rim is mounted on a wheel rim of a vehicle. The power supply device includes a magnetism assembly, an axle member, a magnet, a weight block, a seat, a coil module, and a control module. The seat is disposed on the wheel rim. One side of the seat is provided with an axle seat for connection of the axle member. The seat is driven by the wheel rim to turn relative to the magnetism assembly. When the seat is turned to generate power through the magnet and the coil module, the control module selectively transmits the power to a light-emitting device provided on the wheel rim.

An improved snap-on automotive wheel cover overlay with extended surround having hook-shaped members for the purpose of securing the wheel cover overlay of the present invention to a damaged manufacturer's wheel cover. The wheel cover overlay of the present invention is further secured by inserting a tension rotation device from the reversed position of a tire into a manufactured in wheel cover overlay tension tabs assembly, and having an extended surround covering the entire rim of a vehicle when installed there on. During manufacturing of the present invention, a three dimensional (3D) scanned imaging of the individual embodiment component parts is generated, after rigorous testing, and is transferred to an injection molding computer to generate the injection molding designed precisely corresponding to each individual component parts of the present invention.

The present invention provides a non-rotating center cap for use with vehicle wheel. The present invention comprises a support, an interlocking device, an ornamental object, and a sealer cap. The support is the part of the non-rotating center cap that affixes to the center bore of a vehicle wheel, the interlocking device is mounted in a depression formed on the support. The interlocking device biases the orientation and prevents the rotation of an ornamental object that is connected to it. The sealer cap is connected to the support, the sealer cap protects the ornamental object from water, dust, debris and oil, the sealer cap prevents movements of the ornamental object that could be caused by winds when the vehicle is in motion. The ornamental object does not rotate when the vehicle is in motion, which allows the ornamental object to be readily visible.

A bicycle component comprises a base member and a first alumite layer. The base member is made of an aluminum alloy. The first alumite layer is provided on the base member. The first alumite layer has a thickness that is equal to or larger than 1.0 μm.

A vehicle wheel is defined by a substrate including a face and a rim portion. The face defines a plurality of spokes extending radially outwardly between a central portion of the face and the rim portion and defining a mating portion. An applique is affixed to the wheel at the mating portion. A polymer over-coating that is substantially transparent extends over the applique and the wheel substrate defining a continuous polymer surface over the applique and the wheel substrate.
