Abstract

For balancing a wheel, which is formed of a rolled plate having varying thickness, the wheel is provided with a disk which is formed by a rolled plate having varying thickness in the rolling direction, wherein wheel balance is adjusted by radially adjusting the angle between the location of the thick part of the disk and the location of the air valve insertion hole, and the location of the air valve insertion hole certainly accords with the heaviest point by conforming the location of the air valve insertion hole with the location of the thick part of the disk.
