PURPOSE: Apparatus for arranging rim welding lines for steel vehicle wheel is provided to easily check position of welding line of vehicle wheel, reduces bad test generation ratio and claim cost, and enhances productivity by arranging vehicle wheels and loading the vehicle wheels on hanger. CONSTITUTION: A vehicle wheel inlet line on which vehicle wheels are provided by a conveyor, the apparatus for arranging rim welding lines includes a vehicle wheel centering part(1), a rotation part(2), and automatic detector. The vehicle wheel centering part is mounted to a lower part of the conveyor, and arranges vehicle wheels. The rotation part is connected to the vehicle wheels centering part as one body. and rotates the vehicle wheels which are arranged. The automatic detector is mounted to one side of the conveyor on which the vehicle wheel centering part is mounted, and automatically detects a welding line of the vehicle wheels rotated by the rotation part. Thereby, a direction of the welding line of the wheel is always arranged to a predetermined position.
