[0002] The front wheel rim assembly field is a key technology area in automotive engineering, focusing on the overall design and optimization of the front wheel system. This field continuously pursues lightweight, high strength, high durability, and excellent handling performance to meet the stringent safety, energy efficiency, environmental protection, and comfort requirements of modern vehicles.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, a connecting block 503 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the connecting piece 501, and the connecting block 503 is arranged in a T shape. A connecting groove 504 matching the connecting block 503 is opened on the other side surface of the connecting piece 501, and the connecting block 503 and the connecting groove 504 are snap-fitted together.
