To provide a wheel for an automobile capable of suppressing deposition of water, sand or the like in an inner circumferential void formed inside an outboard side bead seat part of a wheel rim.
A wheel disk 3 has an outboard side flange part 11 folded back in a curved shape to the back side and extending inwardly in the radial direction on its outer circumferential edge, and an inner circumferential end 17a of the outboard side flange part 11 is welded to an opening end 13b of an outboard side bead seat part 13 of a wheel rim 2. At least one of decorative holes 25 of the wheel disk 3 has a water draining hole area 25a located outwardly in the radial direction from an inner circumferential surface of the outboard side bead seat part 13 of the wheel rim 3. Thus, water, sand or the like deposited in an inner circumferential void 29 of the bead seat can be discharged thereby.
