A wheel is disclosed that has a built-in hub for receiving an axle. The wheel includes an annular outer rim, and a pair of circular webs that are received in the rim. Each of the webs includes an inner annular ring. The annular ring on one of the webs defines a through-passageway, and the annular ring on the other web defines an aperture having an open end that communicates with the passageway and an opposite closed end. The closed end of the other web is defined by a wall of the other web. The wall of the other web, together with the annular ring on the other web, define a built-in hub for limiting insertion of the axle onto the wheel and for covering the axle. The need for a separate hub component that can fall off and become lost is thereby eliminated.
