  • Patent number: 11679621
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes a hub portion, a rim portion, and a disc portion. The disc portion is arranged such that a window portion, a spoke portion, and a thin plate portion do not overlap when viewed from a wheel axis direction. The thin plate portion is connected to at least a part of the hub portion, the rim portion, and the spoke portion via a connection portion. A cross-sectional area of the connection portion that appears when the connection portion is cut in a wheel radial direction changes such that a cross-sectional area of an end of the connection portion becomes smaller than a cross-sectional area of another portion of the connection portion.
