Abstract
A wheel rim includes a rim body and a plurality of anchor members. The rim body includes annular left and right side walls, an annular connecting wall interconnecting the left and right side walls, and annular left and right confining ribs extending respectively from the radial inner ends of the left and right side walls toward each other to define a mounting space among the left and right side walls, the connecting wall, and the confining ribs. The confining ribs define an opening communicated with the mounting space. The anchor members are disposed fixedly within the mounting space. Each of the anchor members has a bottom wall abutting against the confining ribs and having a first mounting hole which is adapted to permit extension of a respective one of the spoke units therethrough.
