A method of configuring an additional air chamber on an outer circumferential surface of a well portion of a vehicle wheel as a Helmholtz resonator in a tire air chamber, comprising:
- preparing, in advance of installing the additional air chamber to the vehicle wheel, a plurality of groups of additional air chambers, each group of additional air chambers corresponding to a predetermined size of the vehicle wheel, wherein each group of additional air chambers includes a plurality of additional air chambers, each having a different resonance frequency;
- selecting, from the plurality of groups of additional air chambers, the group of additional air chambers which corresponds to a size of a particular vehicle wheel chosen by a user;
- selecting, from the additional air chambers in the selected group, the additional air chamber in accordance with a size of a tire chosen by the user to be combined with the particular vehicle wheel, the additional air chamber having a resonance frequency corresponding to the size of the tire;
- and
- installing the selected additional air chamber prepared in advance to the particular vehicle wheel.
