Abstract
A wheel structure for an automobile having a wheel rim, a central part, and spoke elements connected to the wheel rim and individually connected to the central part. Spoke elements have through-holes for wheel screws or bolts and the central part has holes for screwing in or pushing through same wheel screws or bolts. The through-holes of the spoke elements form a first hole circle and the holes in the central part form a second hole circle. The diameter of the first hole circle is smaller than the diameter of the second hole circle if the spoke elements are not connected to the central part, and the diameter of the first hole circle corresponds to the diameter of the second hole circle if the spoke elements are also connected to the central part.

A wheel structure for an automobile with a wheel rim, comprising:
- a central part;
- and
- spoke elements,
- wherein the spoke elements are connected to the wheel rim and can be individually connected to the central part,
- wherein the spoke elements are provided with through-holes for wheel screws or bolts and the central part is provided with holes for screwing in or pushing through same wheel screws or bolts,
- wherein the through-holes of the spoke elements form a first hole circle,
- wherein the holes in the central part form a second hole circle,
- the diameter of the first hole circle is smaller than the diameter of the second hole circle if the spoke elements are not connected to the central part, and
- the diameter of the first hole circle corresponds to the diameter of the second hole circle if the spoke elements are also connected to the central part.
