The present disclosure is directed to a polymer-based wheel assembly for a non-pneumatic tire. The wheel assembly comprises: an inboard wheel segment comprising an inboard tubular body having an exterior inboard rim surface, a first inboard segment end having an inboard annular lip extending radially outward from the exterior inboard rim surface, and a second inboard segment end having an inboard wheel segment connecting surface; an outboard wheel segment comprising an outboard tubular body having an exterior outboard rim surface, a first outboard segment end having an outboard annular lip extending radially outward from the exterior outboard rim surface, and a second outboard segment end having an outboard wheel segment connecting surface; wherein the inboard and outboard wheel segment connecting surfaces are coupled together to form a joint, and wherein the exterior inboard and exterior outboard rim surfaces cooperate to form a wheel assembly rim surface; and wherein the inboard and outboard wheel segments are formed from a polymer-based composition.
