Abrégé

Methods for fabricating composite wheel assemblies are described, as well as the composite wheel assemblies being fabricated. The composite wheel assemblies may include multiple formed components that are joined together at one or multiple locations within the wheel assemblies, or may be fabricated as a castable wheel. The composite wheel assemblies may be fabricated from reinforced plastic and/or a metal.

Abrégé

A wheel for a vehicle comprises a rim to support a tire and a wheel disc connected to the rim and configured to engage an axle hub of a vehicle. The wheel disc comprises one or more spokes extending outwardly from a center section of the wheel disc to the rim, each spoke being formed by a substantially planar curbside spoke member and a substantially planar inside spoke member, The curbside and inside spoke members are oriented transversely to each other and to a portion of the center section lying between the curbside and inside spoke members to define a triangle. A plane of the triangle is substantially parallel to a center axis of symmetry of the disc.
