Abstract:
A vehicular wheel is formed by casting and includes a hub; a rim; and a plurality of spokes which extend toward the rim in the radial direction from the hub and are arranged in the circumferential direction. The wheel further includes connecting portions on an inner peripheral surface of the rim respectively connecting the plurality of spokes to the rim. Weight-mounting surfaces are formed at the center of the inner peripheral surface of the rim in the widthwise direction and arranged between respective connecting portions. The weight-mounting surfaces are formed so as to be substantially parallel to a rotational center line of the wheel. A molding seam which is formed at an interface between split faces of a wheel mold is arranged at a position spaced away from the weight-mounting surface in the widthwise direction.
