-7 The present invention relates to a wheel for a pneumatic tyre, for use on a vehicle, comprising a rim having a well, bead seats and bead retaining flanges extending from respective said bead seats away from the wheel axis. One said bead retaining flange includes a first portion extending substantially radially from the respective bead seat to a second portion which, in axial section through the wheel, bends away from an imaginary plane passing through the well and perpendicular to the wheel axis. A third portion extends from the second portion and at a greater angle relative to the wheel axis than the adjoining part of said second portion, and a fourth portion extends from the radially outer part of said third portion and is disposed further from the wheel axis than said second portion. Said fourth portion, in axial section through the wheel, curves arcuately away from said imaginary plane passing through the well. Said fourth portion provides a radially outwardly facing ground engaging surface which is of greater diameter by about at least 6/8th inch than the other bead retaining flange. cd0 /c CC)
