Abstract
A fabricated vehicle wheel wherein a separately formed mounting cup is secured to a back surface of a disc face, and wherein the disc face extends radially inwardly to substantially cover a lug mounting area formed in the mounting cup. The inwardly extending inner face portion is provided with a centrally located access aperture and a plurality of lug access apertures spaced circumferentially around the center access aperture. The lug access apertures are axially aligned with a plurality of lug receiving apertures formed in the mounting cup. A relatively small center cap is removably secured in the centrally located access aperture to provide the fabricated wheel with the appearance of a cast wheel.
