ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel includes a central hub region and a rim coaxial with the central hub region. The rim is configured to receive a motor vehicle tire and includes an exposed annular surface visible when the tire is received on the rim. A middle region extends from the central hub region toward the rim and joins the central hub region and the rim. The wheel additionally includes a cover member configured to attach to the exposed annular surface of the rim. The cover member is configured to substantially conform to a shape of the exposed annular surface of the rim and to substantially continue a contour of the tire when the tire is received on the rim.
