Aircraft wheels (220) may generally comprise an inboard wheel portion (230; 330; 430) and an inboard O-ring groove (438). The inboard wheel portion (230; 330; 430) may include an inboard rim (432) located opposite of an inboard tubewell (334). The inboard tubewell (334) may have an inboard mating surface (336; 436) for mating with an outboard mating surface (346; 446) of an outboard wheel portion (240; 340; 440). The inboard O-ring groove (438) may be formed as a partial oval-shaped recess located on an outer edge of the inboard mating surface (336; 436).
