Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle wheel for commercial vehicles with a fastening device for an aerodynamic wheel disc cover. To allow fixing and easy fastening of the disc cover, the fastening device comprises several fastening holes 30 arranged on the hub connection flange 21. At least one fastening hole consists of a through hole which has a smaller diameter at the front side of the wheel than at the rear side of the hub connection flange and forms an abutment for a removable holding means acting by form-fitting and / or at least one fastening hole 30 consists of a through hole provided with an internal thread for screwing in a fastening screw 40 as holding means and / or the central hole has an inner circular edge with a narrowing which forms an abutment for a holding means arranged on the cover side acting by form-fitting. The invention also relates to a cover disc.
