Abstract
The degree of freedom in design is increased while maintaining strength by enabling a decorative member to be disposed without thinning a wheel main body. A wheel is made up of a wheel main bodywhich is made up of a rim portionand a disc portionand which has a vent holein the disc portionand a decorative membermade from a resin which is held in at least the disc portionand is observed from the vent hole. Since the decorative memberis observed in the vent hole, the wheel main bodyincluding spoke portionsdoes not have to be thinned. In addition, since the design of the decorative member is observed in cooperation with the design of the disc portion, the degree of freedom in design is increased.
