Abstract
A vehicle rim including outboard and inboard bead seats and an annular well flank connected to the outboard bead seat and extending radially inwardly and towards the inboard side of the rim. A well base is connected to the well flank, wherein the well base defines a flat profile, and wherein the well base defines the inner-most radial dimension of the rim. A transition portion is defined between the well flank and the inboard bead seat. The transition portion has a circumferential corrugated profile having a circumferentially concave-shaped outboard groove connected to the well base at a first tangency point, a circumferentially convex-shaped ridge directly connected to the outboard groove at a second tangency point, and a circumferentially concave-shaped inboard groove directly connected to the ridge at a third tangency point. The inboard groove is connected to the inboard bead seat at a fourth tangency point.
