Abstract: A vehicular wheel includes a wheel having a rim with first and second flanges respectively extending radially outward from first and second ends of the rim. The first flange includes inner and outer faces and an interconnecting face extending between the inner and outer faces. An annular groove extends from the outer face towards but spaced from the inner face and is in communication with a plurality of fixing holes formed in the interconnecting face. A protective ring includes an annular body covering an inner surface of the first end of the rim and the outer face of the first flange. An annular extension extends from an end of the annular body and is received in the annular groove. The annular extension includes a plurality of positioning holes aligned with the fixing holes, respectively. A fastener extends through each fixing hole and one of the positioning holes.
