Abstract

A wheel hub for receiving a vehicle wheel, the wheel hub having a central region with a central opening. In order to achieve a reduction of the forces acting on wheel screws, it is provided that (i) the wheel hub includes at least four screw-in openings for screwing in a respective wheel screw; (ii) the wheel hub includes a number of stiffening ribs corresponding to the number of screw-in openings, which ribs extend obliquely or radially outward; (iii) in each case, two circumferentially adjacent stiffening ribs are connected to one another by a linearly extending connecting web, wherein the connecting web between the stiffening ribs has no connection to the central region; and (iv) a screw-in opening is arranged in each connecting web.
