Wheel assembly for vehicle

摘要

A wheel assembly for a vehicle includes a hub including a tubular body and a radial flange formed around an outer peripheral surface of the hub body and having opposite radial faces, and a separate rim including an annular body disposed coaxially with the hub body and a radial flange formed around an inner peripheral surface of the rim body and having opposite radial faces, the hub flange and the rim flange being mated together at their one radial faces and releasably fastened together by fastening means. A projection is provided on the hub flange and extends generally radially outwardly of that portion of the inner peripheral surface of the rim body disposed adjacent to the other radial face of the rim flange. The distance between a radial outer end of the projection means and the one radial face of the hub flange is less than the distance between the other radial face of the rim flange and an axial outer end of said that portion remote from the other radial face of the rim flange, thereby preventing the rim for being fastened to the hub reversely.
