The present application provides a wheel with positioning elements 30 and fasteners 40 ensuring coaxiality between the welded spoke 20 and rim 10 and optimizing the connection position of the spoke 20 to the rim 10, ensuring a reliable radial load-bearing capacity of the wheel.

Specifically, by optimizing the structural composition of the wheel, the wheel comprises the positioning element 30 and the fastening piece 40, so that in the process of mounting the spoke 20 on the rim 10 before welding the spoke 20 and the rim 10, because the first end of the positioning element 30 is connected with the bent flanging 12, an operator only needs to pass the second end of the positioning element 30 through the first positioning hole 21 and then connect the second end of the positioning element 30 with the fastening piece 40, so that the spoke 20 is accurately mounted and positioned on the rim 10, and the spoke 20 and the rim 10 are tightly connected through the positioning element 30 and the fastening piece 40, so that the relative position displacement of the spoke 20 and the rim 10 in the subsequent welding operation process is effectively avoided, the mounting precision of the spoke 20 is improved, and the coaxiality between the welded spoke 20 and the rim 10 is ensured.
