ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus of determining geometrical dimensions of a motor vehicle wheel (rim/tyre assembly)1by contact-less sensing, wherein the wheel is fixed on wheel receiving means8of a tyre changer, that at least one planar light beam3is emitted on to the wheel or at least a part of the wheel, wherein the light beam reflected at the impingement area is detected, and wherein the directions of the emitted and reflected light beams are evaluated for determining the shape and/or position of the respective impingement area4on the wheel1.
