Wheel for a vehicle

In am improved wheel for a vehicle including an annular rim adapted to carry a tire thereon and a wheel center, said annular rim being press-fitted onto an outer peripheral part of said wheel center, the improvement wherein said annular rim is formed symmetrical with respect to a vertical center line of the wheel and comprises a central well portion, a pair of bead seat portions located adjacent the well portion, a pair of flange portions located axially outside the bead seat portions, said bead seat portions and said flange portions having a rigidity higher than that of the central well portion, and an inner circumferential fitting surface having such an axial width that the surface extends over the well portion and at least a part of the respective bead seat portions, while said wheel center is formed symmetrical with respect to said vertical center line and comprises an outer circumferential fitting surface to be fitted with said inner circumferential fitting surface of the annular rim in an assembled state, whereby said inner circumferential fitting surface of the annular rim deforms, when it has been press-fitted onto the outer circumferential fitting surface of the wheel center with an adhesive agent interposed therebetween, to define between those fitting surfaces a space of a crescent-shaped cross-sectional configuration due to difference in strain between the central well portion and the bead seat portions and flange portions caused by difference in rigidity therebetween, said crescent-shaped space being filled with a layer of said adhesive agent having a maximum thickness of 0.05 to 0.5 mm at an axial center thereof and decreasing toward both axial side ends thereof for secure connection between the annular rim and the wheel center.
