ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel adapted to provide support for deflated or punctured tire. The wheel rim comprises a pair of parallel, circumferentially extending, axially spaced-apart, radially outwardly facing bead seats. Adjacent to and axially outwards of each bead seat is a radially outwardly projecting tire retaining flange. A tire fitting well is provided between the bead seat and a substantially rigid, deflated tire support surface radially outwardly of the bead seats mounted upon a support member projecting radially from the well wherein the support member is positioned at one side of the well, considered in axial cross section of the wheel rim, around part of the circumference of the wheel rim and at the other side of the well around the remainder of the circumference so that tire fitting is facilitated. The support member is preferably at one side of the well around half the circumference and may also be integral and the remainder of the wheel rim.
