(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, a hollow top-shaped prepreg sheet formed by orienting the filament in the direction of the stress applied to the wheel while applying tension to the filament is divided into two parts, which are placed back to back and then hot pressed. Since the wheel is integrally molded, the filament is under tension, and the direction of orientation of the filament is also the same as the direction of the stress, so the strength of the wheel is improved.
