The invention relates to a wheel bearing unit () for a vehicle wheel, comprising a hub element (') which has an axially (a) extending cylindrical section () to be supported by a bearing arrangement () and which has a radially (r) extending flange section () for fixing the vehicle wheel and/or a brake disk at a face side () of the flange section (), wherein the bearing arrangement () has an outer ring (). To ensure a firm and cost effective axial connection between the hub element and the outer ring, the invention is characterized in that the outer ring () has a radially extending insection () at its a outer circumference (), wherein the axially (a) extending cylindrical section () of the hub element (&#x2032;) is deformed partially () so that a section of it interferes in the insection () for axially fixing the hub element (&#x2032;) relatively to the outer ring (). The invention also relates to a method for producing a wheel bearing unit.
