There is provided a wheel device for a vehicle including: a wheel having an opening formed between adjacent spokes; a brake mechanism located inside the wheel in a vehicle width direction and having a brake caliper and a brake rotor; and an arc portion extending in a circular direction in the opening and suspended between the adjacent spokes. The arc portion has a recessed portion recessed outward in the vehicle width direction inside thereof in the vehicle width direction, and the arc portion and the brake caliper are located at such positions that they overlap with each other in a state viewed in the vehicle width direction.

Wheel device for vehicle

A vehicle wheel includes a pair of vertical walls that extend vertically up from an outer circumferential surface of a well portion and extend in a wheel circumferential direction and a Helmholtz resonator that is disposed between the pair of vertical walls and bonded to side surfaces of the pair of vertical walls with an adhesive, in which the Helmholtz resonator is not bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the well portion.

Vehicle wheel

A vehicle wheel includes: a pair of vertical walls that are provided upright on an outer circumferential surface of a well portion and extend in a circumferential direction; and a sub air chamber member that is provided between the pair of vertical walls to be held by frictional force generated between the sub air chamber member and the pair of vertical walls and includes an extending wall portion.

A vehicle tire-wheel assembly includes: a wheel main body; a Helmholtz resonator provided on an outer peripheral surface of a well portion of the wheel main body; a tire attached to an outer peripheral surface of the wheel main body so that the tire covers the Helmholtz resonator; and a separation restraining part which, in cooperation with the tire, restrains the Helmholtz resonator from separating from the outer peripheral surface of the well portion.
