The invention relates to a shell (100), for mounting a wheel of a motor vehicle onto a structural or suspension element of a motor vehicle, which has a U-shaped cross-section and comprises: a wheel support plate (10) having an overall vertical orientation and two triangular side flanges (12) that are parallel and orthogonal to the plane of the support plate (10), each of which is defined by a first vertical side (22) adjacent to the support plate (10), a second substantially horizontal bottom side (24), and a third side (26). The invention is characterized in that each side flange (18) comprises an area (34, 44) of reduced resistance that deforms plastically when a side impact is applied to the bottom portion of the wheel, in a transverse direction (T) relative to the plane of the wheel. |
