ABSTRACT:
A vehicle wheel assembly includes a hub adaptor that eliminates the need for a separate hub cap and gasket by providing wheel rim, wheel hub, and brake component attachment interfaces, as well as a lubrication chamber that can be visually inspected to monitor lubrication levels. The hub adaptor comprises a single piece body having an outwardly extending mounting flange with a first plurality of apertures that define a wheel rim attachment interface. The hub adaptor also includes an inner recessed area with a second plurality of apertures that define both the wheel hub and brake component attachment interfaces. The hub adaptor also includes an inner circumferential surface that provides a piloting and sealing interface between the hub adaptor and the wheel hub.
