The rubber rings () are arranged on both sides of the web () and are laterally delimited by the legs (). A first gap () is formed between the inner side () of the wheel tire () and the end edges () of the legs () and the rubber rings () and a second gap () is formed between the outer side () of the wheel rim () and the end edges () of the web () and the rubber rings (). The web () and the legs () are configured in such a way that the rubber rings () are inclined with respect to the central plane of the web (). According to the invention, the rubber rings respectively have a conically expanded region on the inner diameter () and outer diameter (), and a region having a constant wall thickness between the expanded regions.
