ABSTRACT:
An improved new wheel (10) is disclosed which has an integral air pressure gauge (24, 100, 200). A passage (34) extends from the rim surface (22) exposed to the tire interior directly to the tire gauge (24, 100, 200) mounted within a recess (26) within the wheel hub portion (12). An adjustable numericaless colored scale (32) is adjusted to indicate proper inflation at the position of the indicator needle (30) when the tire is first inflated to the proper pressure to calibrate the scale. The tire gauge (200) can be precalibrated at the factory by positioning the dial scale (202) in a predetermined orientation to the case so that, at the desired predetermined pressure, the indicator needle (30) is aligned in the area (116) of proper inflation along the center line (104).
