A tubeless spoked wheel includes a rim that has no through-hole and includes thin spokes to reduce the weight. A plurality of internal threads (40b) are aligned circumferentially in an annular raised portion (25) arranged along the centerline of a rim (21). A connecting member (41) that is hollow and has an external thread (43) on its outer periphery is screwed into each internal thread (40b). Each connecting member (41) is pre-engaged with a distal end of a spoke (18) in a rotatable manner. Each spoke (18) bends at a position outward from the connecting member (41), tilts toward a hub (14). The spokes (18) are connected to the annular raised portion (25) to narrow the rim (21) in the vehicle width direction. The spokes (18) are rotatably supported on the connecting members (41) to disperse the stress. The spokes (18) can thus be thinner.
