A wheel for vehicle, where decorative members can be installed without a reduction in the thickness of a wheel body, and thereby the wheel has a high degree of design freedom with sufficient strength of the wheel maintained. The wheel has the wheel body (1) constructed from a rim section (10) and a disc section (11) and having decorative holes (141) in the disc section (11) and also has the resin decorative members (2) held by at least the disc section (11) and exposed over the decorative holes (141). Since the decorative members (2) are exposed over the decorative holes (141), the wheel body (1) including spoke sections (14) does not need reduction in the thickness. Also, the design of the decorative members (2) appears in cooperation with the design of the disc section (11), so that the wheel has a high degree of design freedom.

Wheel for vehicle

A vehicle wheel includes a rim portion, a hub portion, a plurality of spokes and a plurality of decorative attachments. Each pair of adjacent spokes defines a window therebetween. The plurality of decorative attachments are secured to the wheel and each define a plurality of rearwardly extending boss portions. Each boss portion abuts the wheel. In certain applications, the boss portions may be received within a respective countersunk hole in the wheel and engaged by a fastener for securing the decorative attachment to the wheel. A free end of each of the boss portions abuts a bottom of its respective countersunk hole and the decorative attachment is otherwise spaced from the wheel to reduce noise issues. Alternatively, the ends of the boss portion may be spaced from the wheel and drawn toward the wheel with the threaded fasteners.

A road wheel includes an outboard surface defining an orifice and a cavity. The road wheel additionally includes an ornament having a bottom surface and a key extending from the bottom surface to interface with the cavity. The ornament also includes a post extending from the bottom surface to interface with the orifice in the outboard surface. The key may include a semi-circular profile. The cavity and key may have corresponding triangular shapes. The post may have an internally threaded portion. The cavity may have a slot oriented along a wheel radius sized to receive the key, and the orifice open in the slot.

Provided are a decorative part, a wheel, and a fixation structure of such decorative part and wheel that are unaffected by variations in sizes at the time of manufacturing. The decorative part is to be attached to a vehicular wheel. This decorative part has the fixation portions to be fixed to the wheel; and the first plate-shaped ribs and the second plate-shaped ribs that are arranged at given intervals. The decorative part is to be fixed to the wheel with linear convex portions formed on the wheel being arranged in between and positioned to the first plate-shaped ribs and the second plate-shaped ribs.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a decorated aluminum wheel capable of realizing an aluminum wheel enhancing design property and weight reduction at low cost. SOLUTION: In the decorated aluminum wheel, a recess 14a is previously formed on a spoke part of an M shape cross section of a design surface D of the aluminum wheel and a decoration member 18 is attached to the recess 14 so as to be floated from a bottom surface of the recess. The design property of the aluminum wheel is enhanced by constituting the design in which the decoration member 18a and the aluminum wheel are integrated. Dispersion of clearances S1 of the recess 14a and an outer periphery of the decoration member 18a is suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
