ABSTRACT:
A wheel construction is provided. It is preferably made of a lightweight material such as aluminum or magnesium. The wheel has a wheel body and a rim, with balance weights on the axially inner side of the wheel body in positions such that they cannot be seen from the axially outer side of the wheel. The balance weights are releasably secured to two circular flanges on the radially inner surface of the rim. The flanges are located on opposite sides of the centerline of the wheel to achieve both static and dynamic balance. The balance weights may be of the saddle-type having two weights so that a weight is on both sides of the flange.
