ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel and adapter allowing the wheel to be fastened by means of a single knock-off type hub nut to a disk brake hub or brake drum of a vehicle utilizing wheels of the type that are attached by a plurality of lug bolts or lug nuts arranged in a circular pattern includes a circular adapter plate provided with mounting holes to permit the adapter to be attached using existing lug bolts or lug nuts. The adapter plate has an axially forwardly protruding central coaxial tube section externally threaded on an outer axial portion thereof, and a plurality of axially forwardly protruding engagement bars disposed radially outwards from the tube section. A wheel hub having a tubular front section and a larger diameter, dish-shaped rear section has a flat, circular inner wall provided with grooves adapted to insertably receive the engagement bars of the adapter plate. The tubular front section of the wheel hub has an inwardly and rearwardly tapered, frusto-conically shaped entrance opening. A slotted hub nut having a slotted, frusto-conically shaped outer wall is distorted radially outwards when tightened on the threaded tube section of the adapter, thereby exerting radially outwardly directed centering forces on the wheel hub.
