Claim 0:
1. A wheel hub for mounting a wheel of a vehicle to rotate about an axis of rotation, comprising:
a flange, which comprises:
at least one fastening member, wherein a rim of the wheel can be fastened at least in an axial direction of the wheel hub to the flange and thereby to the wheel hub,
a centering seat formed on an extension projecting axially from the flange of the wheel hub, wherein the centering seat comprises multiple centering surface segments successively disposed and spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the wheel hub and facing outwards in a radial direction of the wheel hub, the multiple centering surface segments are spaced circumferentially without gaps or interruptions and connected completely continuously to each other by recessed surface segments, and the rim is centered relative to the wheel hub in the radial direction thereof, wherein the extension has
an inner lateral face extending continuously in the circumferential direction and facing inwards in the radial direction,
an outer lateral face facing outwards in the radial direction and forming the centering surface segments, the centering surface segments have a first radial distance from the axis of rotation and the recessed surface segments disposed circumferentially between the centering surface segments have a second radial distance from the axis of rotation which is smaller than the first radial distance,
and fully closed in a circumferential direction, and
the centering surface segments define the planar end face and are configured to directly radially support an inner circumferential surface of the rim.
