Abstract
A wheel rim includes two centripetal flanges respectively centripetally formed on an inner and an outer portion of a drop-center portion of the wheel rim having different displacements of the two centripetal flanges respectively deviated from a longitudinal center plane centrally defined between an inner rim flange and an outer rim flange of the wheel rim, with the longitudinal center plane being projectively perpendicular to a central axle axis of the wheel rim, thereby simultaneously satisfying two types of cars, one having a larger off-set and the other having a smaller off-set of each wheel disk as respectively deviated from the longitudinal center plane of each wheel rim.
