Abstract: A full face type cast wheel, wherein a rim portion holding a tire and a disk portion connected to the rim portion are integrally cast, includes a side wall portion extending from a dropped portion of the rim portion to a bead seat portion of the rim portion and a plurality of recessed portions defined intermittently in the circumferential direction of the wheel on a surface of the side wall portion facing the inside of the tire. By formation of the recessed portions, the weight of the wheel can be decreased, generation of blowholes in a casting process can be prevented and air capacity of the tire can be increased.

Abstract: A method for processing a nut seat formed around a bolthole on a wheel including the steps of drilling the nut seat and the bolthole substantially simultaneously with a step drill and performing roller burnishing on at least edge portions of the nut seat wherein the roller is rolled on the nut seat in the circumferential direction of the nut while the roller is pressed onto the nut seat. By roller burnishing, at least the edge portions of the nut seat are finished to a specular grade. The strength of the nut seat itself can be increased by the roller burnishing, thereby decreasing the required thickness of a light alloy wheel and the total weight of the wheel. In addition, the manhours for processing the wheel can be reduced.
