Abstract (en)
In order to assemble a motor-vehicle wheel (30), a wheel rim (10) and a wheel disc (20) are provided, the eccentricities of the rim and of the disc are measured, and the angular positions of the eccentricities are determined. The rim and the disc are oriented relative to one another in a angular position such that the eccentricities of the rim and of the disc are disposed on opposite sides of the axis of rotation of the wheel so as to minimize the overall eccentricity of the wheel disc/rim unit (20, 10), to the extent permitted by the wheel or motor-vehicle manufacturer's specifications. The disc (20) is then force-fitted coaxially in the rim (10). Finally, the disc and the rim are welded together. <IMAGE>
