The invention relates to a device (21) and to a method for processing a rim (1) for a vehicle, in particular an automobile or truck, said device comprising means (2) for supporting the rim, means (3) for centering the rim, and means (4) for drilling, wherein the means for supporting the rim have a protective insert (5), in particular a funnel-shaped element, and can be inserted into an inside (6) of the rim, wherein the rim is arranged on the means for support with the inside in a direction (7) downward and is retained laterally by the means of centering, in particular two means for centering that are arranged opposite, wherein the rim should be oriented with a central wheel hub axis (8) substantially concentric with respect to a processing axis (9) of the means for support, wherein in a wheel hub region (10) the wheel hub region can be drilled into through the means for support from a direction (11) of the inside of the rim by means of the means for drilling.
Means (21) for processing a rim (1) for a vehicle, particularly an automobile or truck comprising a means of support (2) of the rim centering means (3) of the rim, means (26) for material working out, in particular chipping machining the rim to the inner side (6) in a direction (7) is located down on the means for support (2) and the side of the means for centering (3), in particular two means for centering (3), the opposite are arranged is held, wherein the rim (2) to align with a central hub axle (8) is substantially concentric with respect to a machining axis (9) of the means for support (2) and/or a predetermined machining radius about the machining axis (9) is, in a hub portion (10) in one direction (1 1) of the inner side (6) of the rim (1) with the means for material working out (26), in particular machining (4) a material preparation, especially drilling hole by the means for support (2) into the wheel hub portion (10) is feasible.
