1. An automotive wheel equipped with resonator module having improved fastening force, the automotive wheel comprising:
a spoke including an edge and a plurality of supports radially extending from a center thereof to the edge;
a rim connected to the edge of the spoke; and
a resonance module including a rim contact portion provided to surround an outer edge of the rim, and a resonance portion formed to surround at least a portion of the rim contact portion and forming a resonance space between the rim contact portion and the resonance portion,
wherein the resonance module includes a first accommodation groove spaced a predetermined distance inward from both sides of the resonance module and being able to accommodate a fastening band therein so that a fastening force between the rim and the resonance module can be primarily improved,
wherein the resonance module further includes anti-separation guiders disposed between both sides of the resonance module and the first accommodation groove and protruding from a top of the resonance module to be able to prevent the fastening band from separating from the resonance module, and
wherein at least any one of the anti-separation guiders disposed on both sides of the resonance module includes a spacer that provides a space, which enables the fastening band inserted in the first accommodation groove to be taken out and replaced, by securing a spare space.
