Abstract: An improved motor vehicle wheel center for providing a virtually continuous co-planar visual vehicular wheel design including an anti-theft feature comprising a cover plate that blocks access to the lug bolts of a wheel while sealingly preventing migration of oil and other substances from the center to the exterior thereof and which is held in place by a wedge-shaped, threadedly received central shaft member having a multi-sided faceted configuration which can only be removed in a facilitated manner by engagement and rotation through a specifically shaped conforming tool.

Abstract: A motor vehicle wheel comprising two mating, annular, permanently connected parts formed without cutting and composed of different, but congenerically similar, materials. The wheel is composed of an inner wheel part, which comprises the inner and greater part of the rim bed together with the wheel disc, and an outer wheel part which forms the remaining and smaller part of the rim bed. The two parts are connected together at their respective rim bed portions to provide a complete rim bed. The two wheel parts are provided with mating, generally annular, contiguous connection surfaces which may be of cylindrical, conical and/or serrated configuration and which are joined in an air-tight manner.

Abstract: A motor vehicle wheel, particularly a motorcycle wheel, comprising two identical, contiguous, co-axial, complementary light metal pressings or stampings fixed to a hub member, each forming half of a rim bed for a tire. The two mating wheel pressings provide a star-like wheel spider having closed hollow main and auxiliary spokes. The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of such a vehicle wheel.
