Die for casting vehicle wheel rims with tubular spokes and obtained wheel rim

A die for use in casting vehicle wheel rims which include a hub from which extend a plurality of spokes which spokes are generally hollow from a point spaced from the hub to an outer channel in which a tire is selectively mountable, the die comprising,

• first and second parts corresponding to the inner and outer sides of the wheel rim, said first and second parts including central portions for forming a hub of a wheel rim and intermediate portions extending from the central portions for forming the spokes and outer portions,
• a plurality of circumference components engageable with said outer portions of said first and second parts,
• a plurality of protuberances equal in number to the plurality of spokes of the wheel rim extending inwardly relative to one another from the circumference components, each protuberance being of a dimension such that when inserted between the first and second parts of the die, such protuberances are spaced from said central portions thereof wherein the wheel hub is formed whereby the spokes are solid extending from the hub and are hollow thereafter to the outer channel.
