Wheel Types
The Wheel Division specialises in new, replacement and conversion
to suit customer requirements. These can be manufactured from
customers' own drawings or our own extensive CAD database,
in any colour using powder coating, stoving or air drying
enamels. Large stocks of wheels,
rims and rim components are held in our warehouse, which
enables products to be supplied at short notice
Before describing the different types of wheel offered by
Watts, it is necessary to first distinguish between the
terms "rim" and "wheel".
In short, the rim is a profiled steel band which supports
the tyre. When a nave plate is welded into the band to the
appropriate specification this is then termed as the wheel.

Note, that some rims do not have a hub mounting plate (nave) and are
attached to the hub by a matching taper under the lock ring gutter.
These are known as Demountable wheels. |
