Lightened disk for a wheel and a method for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a lightened disk for a wheel comprising:

• stamping a flat disk material from a flat plate;
• manufacturing a disk by plastically deforming at least one time said disk material so that said disk includes a flange portion having an axially inboard edge, said axially inboard edge including at least one general portion extending circumferentially in a plane essentially perpendicular to an axis of said disk at at least a portion of said axially inboard edge;
• and
• drawing said flange portion on or after said deforming of any of said at least one time so that said flange portion is reduced to a thickness equal to or less than about 90% of a thickness of said disk material at said general portion of said axially inboard edge.
