A wheel assembly (10) for a rail vehicle (20). The wheel assembly (10) comprises an outer shell unit (100) which defines an outer circumferentially extending surface (102) of the wheel assembly (10) and defines a support chamber (104) with an inner circumferentially extending surface (106). The outer shell unit (100) extends between a rail inner side end (108) and a rail outer side end (110). A shell support assembly (112) is located in the support chamber (104). The shell support assembly (112) comprises support ribs (200), each support rib (200) defining a support face (202), each support face (202) engaged with the inner circumferentially extending surface (106) at a different engagement position (114) on the inner circumferentially extending surface (106) of the outer shell unit (100). The engagement positions (114) are spaced around the circumferentially extending surface (102) of the outer shell unit (100).
