Abstract: A one-piece rim for a vehicle wheel, especially a truck wheel, on which a pneumatic tire is to be mounted. The rim ring is provided laterally outwardly with rim flanges which extend essentially radially inwardly. Disposed next to these rim flanges, on the radially inner side of the rim ring, are respective seating surfaces for a tire bead. To secure the tire beads on the rim, even in extreme driving situations, the rim ring includes two parts which are undetachably connected with one another and/or the wheel-center disk. Provided laterally inwardly of each rim flange is a respective one-piece clamping ring, which has an outer diameter which is greater than the inner diameter formed by the rim flanges. Spring or snap rings are provided for fixing the clamping rings in position against the tire beads.

Abstract: A vehicle wheel, especially for a truck. The wheel has a rigid rim on which can be mounted a pneumatic tire of rubber or rubber-like material. The carcass of the tire is anchored in the tire beads by being looped around pull-resistant bead cores. The tire beads are disposed on the radially inner periphery of the rim ring. In order to make it particularly easy to mount the tire, the rim seating surfaces for each tire bead extend essentially horizontally in the transverse direction, and extend to the edge of the rim ring. A clamping ring is disposed radially inwardly of the tire bead, with that side of the clamping ring which rests against the bead extending at an angle to the axis of rotation of the wheel. The bead core has a cross-sectional shape which includes sides which extend essentially parallel to the clamping ring and parallel to the rim seating surface.
