Abstract
A spoked wheel, especially for motor vehicles, with a hub and a unitary spoked-portion or spider leading from the hub to the rim of the wheel. The hub and spider-portion are independently formed from relatively thin-gauged sheet metal with the outer surface of the hub having alternating wall portions and protruding fingers which are welded respectively to the intersecting base and lower inside walls of each channel-shaped spoke to impart structural strength to the wheel. The outer end of each spoke is cornered and recessed to provide a greater surface area for welding the spoke to the wheel rim.
