The wheel rim (20) defines an axis and includes an inboard tire bead seat retaining flange (22), an inboard tire bead seat(24), an axially extending well (26), and an outboard tire bead seat (28). The outboard tire bead seat terminates at an endmost surface. The wheel disc includes a generally centrally located wheel mounting surface (42), a plurality of outwardly extending spokes (44), an outer annular portion and a plurality of decorative openings formed therein between each pair of spokes. Each of the spokes (44) includes an inner end, and outer end, a rear wall, and a pair of opposed side walls. The inner end of the spokes is connected to the wheel mounting surface and the outer end of the spokes connected to the outer annular portion. The outer annular portion defines a continuous annular ring which defines an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange of the vehicle wheel.</p> |
