Abstract: A wire wheel for fitting to a vehicle having a brake disc and a brake caliper extending around a portion of the edge of the disc, comprising a circular rim (10), a hubshell (15) having an inner mounting end and a smaller outer end and having an outer diameter somewhat smaller than normal, its radius being less than the radial spacing of brake caliper from the wheel center, and a plurality of spokes (12) connected between the rim and the hubshell supporting the rim concentric with the hubshell and with the hubshell located predominantly on the outer side of a plane which bisects the rim circumferentially. A supporting ring (2) is rigidly fitted to the inner mounting end of the hubshell, preferably with an interference fit and has a mounting face adjacent or coincident with the plane such that the caliper is clear of rotating spokes.
