ABSTRACT:
An all-welded wire spoke wheel for a pneumatic tire includes a pneumatic tire rim formed with a relatively wide groove or depression in its inner face which extends all around the rim. An elongated metal strap is formed having a length, width and thickness approximating the circumference, width and depth of the rim groove. A series of spokes are welded endwise to that strap at spaced-apart locations therealong and then the strap is bent into a hoop with the spokes extending radially inward and seated snugly in the rim groove. After the hoop is secured to the rim at locations all around the rim, a wheel hub is welded conventionally to the radially inner ends of the spokes concentric with the rim.
