An assembly ( 10 ) for location around a wheel rim ( 32 ) includes an annular support band ( 12 ) being formed of a relatively inextensible material. The support band ( 12 ) is split at at least one circumferential location to define a pair of opposed ends ( 16, 18 ). Adjustment bolt ( 24 ) is operably connected to the opposed ends ( 16, 18 ) for enabling adjustment of the diameter of the support band ( 12 ), and feet ( 14 ) depend from the radially inner face ( 34 ) of the support band ( 12 ). The feet ( 14 ) are formed from a relatively non-compressible material and, in use, are seated upon the wheel rim ( 32 ) to maintain the support band ( 12 ) in a spaced apart relationship with the wheel rim ( 32 ). The assembly may be adapted for use as a runflat assembly or as a beadlock assembly. |
