The large-diameter bulging portion acts to prevent the connecting pin from being unevenly located at one of the opposite ends of the rim material when the connecting pin is press-fitted into the insertion hole. In addition, by bonding and integrating the large-diameter opening through an adhesive layer in the connected state, together with the press-fitting into the connecting pin fitting hole, the occurrence of wobbling over time is prevented, It also acts to restrict the displacement of the connecting pin. Therefore, the size and shape of the large diameter bulge are not particularly limited as long as they can achieve the above effects.

Effects of the Invention As described above, when joining opposite ends of an annularly curved rim material, connecting pin insertion holes are formed on the opposite end surfaces of the ends, and the connecting pins are inserted into these insertion holes. Since the ends are press-fitted, the entire circumference of the joint, including the inner circumferential side that is visible when used as a rim, such as when flush pad welding is used to weld and fix the opposite end surfaces. There will be no so-called "Paris" formations, and there will be no deterioration in appearance. Moreover, finishing work such as buffing over the entire circumference for removing the above particles can be eliminated.

Further, a large diameter bulge is formed in the intermediate portion of the connecting pin, and a large diameter opening corresponding to the large diameter bulge is formed at each opening end of the fitting hole, and each of the fitting holes is formed with a large diameter opening corresponding to the large diameter bulge. Since each corresponding end of the connecting pin is press-fitted and the large-diameter bulge is integrally bonded into the large-diameter opening via an adhesive layer, it is particularly important to make the insertion hole into the rim material. If the length of the insertion hole is longer than the length of the pin, such as when it is formed during extrusion molding, the connecting pin will be inserted in a state shifted toward one of the opposing ends during press-fitting work. Inconveniences can be avoided and the work can be done very easily.

In addition, since the large-diameter bulge is integrated with the large-diameter opening through the adhesive layer in the joined state, this also prevents looseness over time due to the press-fitting of the connecting pin into the insertion hole. It is possible to prevent this from occurring and to reliably prevent the pin from shifting within the insertion hole. Therefore, it is possible to reliably avoid the inconvenience of the connecting pin shifting toward one of the opposing ends and eventually causing the joint to come off.
