ABSTRACT:
A wheel rim assembly comprises a pair of annular rim sections each having a rim flange secured on an outboard end thereof for retaining an air-inflated tire thereon. A pair of back-to-back mounting flanges extend radially inwardly from inboard ends of the rim sections and are bolted together. One of the mounting flanges preferably extends radially inwardly beyond the other mounting flange and is adapted to be bolted to an axle hub of a vehicle. At least two latch means are mounted on peripheral portions of the rim sections to straddle the same for releasably attaching them together. Carrying forth the method of this invention, the tire is first deflated whereby a tool may be inserted through an opening formed through one of the rim sections to release the latch means to provide for separation of the rim sections upon release of the bolts.
