Abstract: A wheel system relating to improved wire-spoke wheels. More specifically, this invention relates to providing a safer vintage Cragar-style wire-spoke wheel having increased strength and decreased clacking noise when compared to the original Cragar wire-spoke wheel.

Abstract: A wheel rim with a brake rotor includes a wheel rim having two retaining walls respectively and annularly formed on two lateral sides thereof. An annular groove is annularly defined between the two retaining walls for adapting to retain a tire. The wheel rim has a plurality of support plates spacedly formed on one retaining wall and extending toward a center of the wheel rim to form a hub hole defined therein. The hub hole is axially located at the center of the wheel rim for adapting to assemble with a wheel hub. A brake rotor is concentrically connected with the wheel rim and mounted with the other retaining wall of the wheel rim for adapting to be clamped by a disc brake.

Abstract: A wire spoke, non-suspension type, automotive wheel in which the spokes are operably untensioned prior to vehicle loads being placed upon the wheel. An outer tubeless tire rim with a drop center is mounted to a wheel center which includes a substantially thick and solid felly connected to a concentrically positioned hub. Wire spokes extend radially outward from the hub in circumferential array and have tenons or feet on inner ends thereof which are anchored within recesses at front and rear ends of the hub. Radially outer ends of the spokes are plain terminations welded in the shape of a plug anchor within circumferentially spaced bores in the felly to secure the spokes and permit wheel formations which exhibit the classic beauty and elegance of a suspension wire spoke wheel, combined with durability, strength and ease of construction.
