A vehicle wheel includes a wheel disc with a disc flange portion extending toward an outer peripheral edge of the vehicle wheel. A weld area is located on the disc flange portion at the outer peripheral edge. The wheel disc is press fit into a rim and then is welded to the rim at the weld area. A groove is formed within the disc flange portion at a location remote from the weld area. This provides flexibility for the disc flange portion to reduce tension exerted on the weld area between the wheel disc and rim.
