Wheel for vehicle

A wheel for a vehicle, the wheel comprising:

• a wheel portion that is attached to a hub provided on an end of a drive wheel drive shaft in a body of the vehicle;
• a wheel cover portion that is detachably attached to the wheel portion;
• and
• an attachment/detachment mechanism portion that detachably fixes the wheel cover portion to the wheel portion, wherein
• the wheel cover portion has a drum-like shape having a thickness in a direction of a central axis of the wheel portion and includes a plurality of recess-shaped paddle portions in an outer peripheral surface portion thereof,
• the attachment/detachment mechanism portion has
• a plurality of mating recess portions provided on the wheel portion,
• a plurality of mating protrusion portions provided on the wheel cover portion so as to be fittable into the plurality of mating recess portions, and
• a fixing portion that releasably fixes mating between the plurality of mating recess portions and the plurality of mating protrusion portions, and
• the fixing portion has
• a center threaded hole portion provided on the central axis in the wheel portion,
• a center hole provided on the central axis in the wheel cover portion,
• a center bolt member that is screwed into the center threaded hole portion through the center hole, and
• a stopper screw that prevents the center bolt member screwed into the center threaded hole portion from loosening.
