To propose a wheel for automobile which is capable of inhibiting water, sand or the like from depositing in the inner circumferential space formed inside the bead seat section on the front surface side of the wheel rim.
The wheel for automobile is so constituted that at least one of the decorative openings 25 provided on a wheel disk 3 comprises a water-draining opening area 25a located extendedly from the inner circumferential surface 13a of the front surface side bead seat section 13 to outward in a radial direction, while a fitting outer circumferential section 24 of the wheel disk 3 is internally fitted onto a curved circumferential section 19 that constitutes the front surface side rim flange section 11 of the wheel rim 2 and is seated on the front surface 17a of a rising circumferential section 17, thus the wheel disk 3 and the wheel rim 2 are welded. Alternatively, at least one decorative opening is arranged to have the outermost opening end portion of its opening circumferential end located at the same position as the internal circumferential surface of the front surface side bead seat section or at an outer position in a radial direction. This enables the discharge of water, sand or the like included in the inner circumferential space 29 of the bead seat section.
