Method for manufacturing vehicle wheel, and vehicle wheel

摘要

A recess is formed on the periphery of each of through-holes that go through a rim cavity, and the outer surface of a rim part is cut while a seal member for sealing the through-hole is positioned on the recess. It is thereby possible to stably manufacture a vehicle wheel in which swarf tends not to remain inside the rim cavity. Furthermore, it is not necessary to avoid the seal member for sealing the through-hole when cutting the outer surface of the rim part, and the outer surface of the rim part can be cut without any distinction having to be made between the periphery of the through-hole and the rest of the outer surface. Any increase in manufacturing costs can be minimized.

1. A method for manufacturing a vehicle wheel that includes a rim part, the method sequentially performing:
a cavity forming process for forming a rim cavity as a cavity that is integrally formed inside the rim part, a through-hole that goes through the rim cavity and opens to an exterior of a wheel, and a recess that dents a periphery of the through-hole; a cutting process for cutting an outer surface of the rim part in a state that a seal member for sealing the through-hole is positioned in the recess, and a removing process for removing the seal member from the recess after the cutting process.
