ABSTRACT:
Three equally spaced contoured pads are installed around the center of the outer periphery of a conventional existing wheel rim. The pads are supported by brackets welded to the rim, and the contours of the pads form a circle when positioned correctly. The pads are flexibly moveable relative to the brackets to allow for instantaneous spin balancing during wheel rim rotation as occasioned by vehicle usage. In addition to spin balancing, the wheel safety rim functions to prevent a vehicle from riding on the wheel rim when an associated tire becomes deflated. Further provided is a specialized tool for facilitating the installation of the present device.
