ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel of the disclosure includes a plurality of structural members secured to each other to define a cavity that receives foam which adheres to the structural members to cooperate therewith as a load bearing component. One of the structural members defines the outboard side of a disc of the wheel and includes radial openings that are spaced circumferentially. Stamped ribs project in an outboard direction through the openings and give the wheel a styled appearance. The ribs include flanges engaged with the interior side of the outboard structural member defining the radial openings. A central cap of the wheel includes axially extending notches that receive the radial inner ends of the ribs. The ribs have arcuately curved configurations between their radial inner ends and their radial outer ends. The ribs also have circumferentially extending portions that project in opposite directions at their radial outer ends. Reinforced bolt holes through the disc are provided so as to permit attachment bolts to mount the wheel.
