A rim for a vehicle wheel having an inner and an outer rim flange, an inner and an outer rim shoulder, a rim well with well base, inner well flank and an outer well flank, a transition section and an inner hump with a hump peak. The rim is having specific material thickness in the area of the transition section. In order to improve wheels in terms of weight minimization and noise development, the transition section comprises at least one stiffening section with a radially offset wall section, the maximum radial offset of which to the adjoining transition section is greater than the material thickness in the transition section. The stiffening section has a diameter, being equal or greater than the diameter on the well base and smaller than diameter of the hump peak.

Vehicle wheels and methods of making vehicle wheels are provided. A vehicle wheel comprises a generally annular first region, a second region, and a flange extension. The first region comprises an inner surface and an outer surface comprising a tire bead seat. The second region extends radially inwardly from the first region. The second region is configured to mount to a vehicle axle. The flange extension extends from the first region in a direction away from the second region. The flange extension comprises a first extension end integral with the first region, a second extension end, and an elongate portion intermediate the first extension end and the second extension end. The elongate portion comprising a first portion with a thickness less than a thickness of the second extension end.

A method for producing a motor car rim made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a wheel of a motor vehicle. The motor car rim has a rim well delimited on opposite sides by an outer flange and an inner flange, a hub with a center recess and a pitch circle diameter, as well as a rim center connecting the rim well and the hub to one another and engaging the rim well off-center in the longitudinal section. The rim center is formed with several spokes spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction as relates to a center longitudinal axis of the motor car rim.

Provided is a vehicle wheel with which manufacturing costs can be reduced. The vehicle wheel includes a sub air chamber member as a Helmholtz resonator on a well portion of a rim. The sub air chamber member includes a protrusion portion which protrudes toward the rim, and the rim has a hole portion into which the protrusion portion is inserted to engage with the sub air chamber.

A rim section 18 is provided with e disk section 20 and is secured to a jig by patting the disk section 20 as the lower side. By allowing a groove section 40 l an engaging section) provided along a circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 21 of the rim section 18 to engage with a bent end section 48 of a reinforced member 14 attached from the upper side of the jig, the reinforced member 14 can be easily positioned on the inner peripheral surface 21 of the rim section 18.

Tire or wheel for use on a vehicle, machine, equipment, toy or the like. The tire or wheel has an illuminable feature including at least one optical fiber.

A method for producing a motor vehicle rim made of an aluminum alloy for a wheel of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle rim having a rim base limited on opposite sides by an outer horn and an inner horn, a hub with a central recess and a hole circle, and a rim center connecting the rim base and the hub to one another. The motor vehicle rim is produced in one piece and continuously in a casting mold by die casting of a casting material, the casting material being the aluminum alloy.

Vehicle wheels and methods of use are provided. The vehicle wheel comprises a first region, a second region, and a third region. The first region is generally annular and comprises a first flange, a second flange opposite the first flange, and a continuous wall comprising an inner surface and an outer surface. A first tire bead seat and a second tire bead seat are defined on the outer surface. The second region is configured to mount to a vehicle axle and is offset from the first flange by an offset distance. The third region connects the second region and the third region and extends inwardly towards the longitudinal axis from an attachment location on the first region to the second region. The third region comprises a first thickness and the second region comprises a second thickness. The first thickness is no greater than 75% of the second thickness.
