Abstract
An improved wheel construction includes a disc and a rim secured together and which define a radially inwardly facing circumferential cavity in the wheel. In accordance with the present invention, a filler material is disposed in a substantial portion of the cavity to prevent road material or other debris from accumulating in the cavity and causing an out-of-balance wheel condition.
