- the automobile wheel of the present embodiment is a type in which the disc flange portion 30 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the front bead seat portion 14 of the wheel rim 10, but the disc flange portion 30 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the well portion 11. May be the type that fits. In that case, it is not necessary to provide the drain opening 70.
- the inclined surface portion 54 of the spoke protrusion 52 in the present embodiment is formed in a curved surface shape that is substantially flat, but may be formed in a curved surface shape that swells on the front side in the wheel axial direction, for example. Further, it may be formed in a curved surface shape that is recessed on the rear side in the wheel axial direction, or may be formed in a flat surface shape that is not curved at all.

Abstract
Description
車軸のハブに連結されるハブ取付部(40)と、前記ホイールリムの内周面に接続されるディスクフランジ部(30)と、前記ハブ取付部からホイール径方向外側に延出されて前記ハブ取付部と前記ディスクフランジ部とを連結する複数のスポーク部(50)とを一体的に形成してなるホイールディスク(20)とを備えた自動車用ホイールにおいて、
前記スポーク部は、それぞれ、スポーク幅方向における中央位置に設けられホイール径方向に延びた中央谷部(51)と、前記中央谷部のスポーク幅方向の両側に並設されてスポーク幅方向断面がホイール軸方向表側に突出した山状となるスポーク突条(52)とを備えるとともに、前記中央谷部を挟んで両側に並設される前記スポーク突条の頂部(53)間の離隔がスポーク基端側に比べてスポーク先端側において狭くなるように形成され、
前記スポーク突条は、ホイール軸方向表側に突出した頂部からスポーク幅方向外側に張り出してホイール軸方向裏側に下り傾斜する傾斜面部(54)を備え、
前記傾斜面部は、前記頂部からスポーク幅方向外側端までの長さがスポーク先端側に向かうほど長くなり、かつ、下り平均傾斜角度がスポーク先端側に向かうほど小さくなるように形成されていることにある。
前記スポーク部の中央谷部は、スポーク基端側からスポーク先端側に向かってホイール軸方向表側に上り傾斜するように形成されていることにある。
