Patent ID: 10525767

Abstract:
A wheel for vehicle 1 is provided with a disc 10 and a rim 20 and has a braking device 30 housed therein. An annular flange portion 41 protruded inward from a bead seat portion 22 in a radial direction of the wheel 1 is disposed at an end of the rim 20 on a side opposite to the disc 10. The flange portion 41 has an inclined surface 41a on a side opposite to the disc 10. The flange portion 41 is inclined toward the disc 10 in a direction toward a central axis L of the wheel 1. The inclined surface 41a acts to reduce air resistance at the wheel 1 while the vehicle is running and guides a portion of an underfloor airflow to an inner space of the wheel 1 to secure an amount of air for cooling the braking device 30.
