Abstract
A wheel comprises a felloe or outer rim, a dish for attachment to a vehicle hub and several improved support blocks connecting the dish to the rim. The improved support blocks have a generally U-shaped profile which has one configuration in the central portion of the support block and a second configuration at its ends. The leg portions of the central profile are straight and joined to the base of the U by small radius curves. The leg and base portions of the end profile are gently curved and unfavorable stresses avoided.
