ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle wheel having an annular wheel rim and a wheel disc in which the flange of the wheel disc is formed with a frustoconical outer surface for engagement with and attachment to a frustoconical inner surface of the wheel rim enabling the disc to be attached to the wheel rim at an inclined, larger diameter section of the wheel rim than the drop center well or the inflation ledge of the rim. This increases the size of the internal envelope formed by the wheel assembly thus increasing clearance for vehicle components within the wheel envelope, such as the brake assembly. Alternatively, a larger brake assembly may be utilized.
