Abstract

A hybrid wheel including a functional rim, a center disc, and a wheel face insert, wherein the wheel rim and the center disc are made of a specified material, and wherein the wheel face insert is made of a dissimilar material. The wheel face insert can be secured to the center disc by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive, and/or the wheel face insert can be secured to the functional rim by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
Therefore, the following is claimed: 
     
         1 . A hybrid wheel comprising a functional wheel rim, a center disc, and a wheel face insert, wherein the wheel rim and the center disc are made of a specified material, and wherein the wheel face insert is made of a dissimilar material. 
     
     
         2 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the specified material is steel. 
     
     
         3 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the specified material is high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel having a 45 ksi min yield in 2 mm or thinner. 
     
     
         4 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the specified material is a composite material. 
     
     
         5 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel face insert is made of at least one of aluminum alloy, magnesium, carbon composite, or plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 2 , wherein the wheel face insert is made of at least one of aluminum alloy, magnesium, carbon composite, or plastic. 
     
     
         7 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel face insert is locked in place to the center disc with chamfered bolt apertures. 
     
     
         8 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel face insert is secured to the center disc by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 6 , wherein the wheel face insert is secured to the center disc by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive. 
     
     
         10 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , the wheel face insert is secured to the functional rim by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 6 , the wheel face insert is secured to the functional rim by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive. 
     
     
         12 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 8 , the wheel face insert is secured to the functional rim by at least one of screws, pins, rivets, or structural adhesive. 
     
     
         13 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel face insert comprises a wheel center face insert and a rim flange cap ring. 
     
     
         14 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel is configured for use on an ATV, an RTV, or a UTV. 
     
     
         15 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel is configured for use on a light truck. 
     
     
         16 . The hybrid wheel of  claim 1 , wherein the wheel is configured for use on a trailer.
