A method for producing a full face vehicle wheel wherein at least the inboard tire bead seat is precisely oriented and located relative to an axis of the associated vehicle wheel includes the steps of: (a) providing a vehicle wheel assembly having a wheel rim (20) and a wheel disc (40) joined together and defining a horizontal wheel axis, the wheel rim including an inboard tire bead seat retaining flange (22), an inboard tire bead seat (24), a well (26), and an outboard tire bead seat (28), the wheel disc (40) including a wheel mounting portion and an outer annular portion which defines an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange (50) of the vehicle wheel; (b) supporting the vehicle wheel assembly on a vehicle wheel fixturing and press apparatus (60) including a wheel fixturing member (62) and a wheel press member (70); and (c) selectively moving at least one of the wheel fixturing member (62) and the wheel press member (70) toward one another so as to engage and squeeze the inboard outboard tire bead seat radially so as to expand the inboard tire bead seat (24) in the radial direction to round up the radial runout of the inboard tire bead seat (24) whereby an inner surface of the inboard tire bead seat (24) is oriented and located at a desired radial distance relative to the horizontal whell axis and in a generally concentric relationship therewith. |
