A wheel having a flexible shape rim, a plurality of resilient spokes with both ends mounted on the flexible shape rim, a plurality of hubs disposed in central part of the wheel. The hubs are mounted on an axle that attached to frame of vehicle and rotate independently. Each hub is in touch with one or more of the spokes in a manner that allows spokes motion in relation to the hub. Shifts of the spokes caused by the hubs movements and the rim distortions enforces the rim to change shape from conventional annular to the shapes such as elliptical, oval, and other similar shapes when stationary and while moving. Adjustment of the flexible rim shape caused by sudden impacts while crossing road obstructions reduces collisions of the wheel with the road obstructions, sufficiently decreasing the impact transmitted from the wheel rim to the hubs and the vehicle frame, allowing the hubs and the vehicle frame to continue movement without stress. The wheel assemble disclosed allows incorporating the function of suspension system into wheel. The wheel disclosed provide significant reduce of kinetic energy waste which otherwise occurs in collisions of wheel with the road obstacles due to the wheel body distortion, pneumatic tire distortion, and due to work of vehicle suspension bracket during the shock absorption. Disclosed wheel assemble provide better load distribution, increase traction over a conventional wheel of the same vertical height providing vehicle with off-road capabilities.
