Disclosed is a vehicle support device comprising a polygonal surface which may be affixed to a front edge of an at least one circumferential plate (110) or to a midline of an at least one circumferential plate (110). The polygonal surface (105) may be a pentagon polygon having five sides, a hexagon polygon having six sides, an octagon polygon having eight sides, or any polygonal shape. The polygonal front surface may have an at least one asymmetrical side. The polygonal front surface (105) may have a plurality of lug bolt supports (120), which may have five lug bolt supports (120), seven lug bolt supports (120), eight lug bolt supports (120), or twelve lug bolt supports (120). The vehicle support device may have an axle support centerline (125), a vehicle support device centerline (130), and an non-zero centerline offset (135) between the axle support centerline (125) and the vehicle support centerline (130) to provide for offset alignment of the vehicle support device in a vehicle wheel well.

The vehicle support device may be used to support any wheeled automobile, trailer or tractor, to provide levelness and stability of the vehicle, prevent UV and time or gravity-caused degradation of the tires, and extend the life of the tires, and on other vehicles with modification. For most automobiles, trailers, and tractors, the vehicle support device may replace one or more of the tires and wheels on an axle to securely and solidly support the vehicle on ground or a on concrete pad.

A wheel of a vehicle has a rim, a hub portion and at least two spokes connecting the hub portion to the rim. At least one spoke intermediate space between the spokes is at least partially covered by a single-piece cover element. A wing portion of the cover element is deformed axially away from the wheel when heat is supplied. The cover element is connected directly to the wheel, and the single-piece cover element is formed from a single material.

A wheel assembly for a vehicle can comprise a rim body formed in a cylindrical shape, a first cover element, and a second cover element, wherein the rim body comprises at least a wheel disc element arranged in an axial direction of the rim body, wherein the first cover element is arranged at a first side of the wheel disc element and the second cover element is arranged at a second side of the wheel disc element along the axial direction of the rim body, wherein the rim body comprises a first material, wherein the first cover element and the second cover element comprise a second material, wherein the first material differs from the second material, and wherein the first cover element and the second cover element are formed differently from each other.

A protective plug characterised because includes a monolithic profile body (1) made of dyed-through polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), height H1=10-220 mm, with the lower cylindrical part (2), diameter 1=5-100 mm, height H2=1-90 mm, and a part, connected through its upper end, of a spherical layer profile (4), radius R1=5-100 mm, whose upper surface, diameter 2=10-110 mm, turns into a shoulder of a low cylinder (5) profile, height H3=0.5-50 mm. The upper round end of the cylindrical part (2) of this plug is connected with the part of the reversed truncated taper (7) profile of analogous diameters 1 and 2 and the angle of flare a=from 2 to 179.9, whose upper surface of diameter 2 also turns into an analogous low cylinder (5) profile.

An assembly (18) comprises a motorcycle tire (12) and at least one insert (16) for a sidewall of the tire (12). The insert (16) is removably fastened to the sidewall. The sidewall insert (16) comprises two free end edges arranged so that, when the tire (12) is mounted on a mounting support (14) in order to form a mounted assembly (10) and when the mounted assembly (10) is mounted on the motorcycle, the insert (16) can be mounted on and removed from the sidewall of the tire (12) without removing the mounted assembly (10) from the motorcycle. An insert (16) and a set of inserts that can be used in such an assembly (18), are disclosed together with a method for mounting an insert (16) or a set of inserts in order to form such an assembly (18).

A wheel shield includes a central disk having a central wheel hub opening surrounded by annularly spaced stud holes that correspond to a pattern presented by a vehicle. The central disk includes an outwardly open fastening surface such as a channel positioned around an outer diameter of the central disk. The wheel shield includes a radially-compressible ring such as radially extending filaments. The radially-compressible ring has an inner diameter attached in the outwardly open fastening surface of the central disk and sized to engagingly contact an inner diameter of a vehicle wheel rim to restrict movement of brake dust to an exposed outer surface of the vehicle wheel rim while still allowing for the movement of air for cooling.
