A wheel assembly for a vehicle may include an inner rim to be coupled to the vehicle, and an outer rim surrounding the inner rim. The wheel assembly may also include gas springs operatively coupled between the inner rim and the outer rim to provide relative movement between the inner rim and the outer rim. Each of the gas springs may include a gas cylinder body, and a gas piston including a hollow piston shaft and an enlarged piston head coupled thereto. The enlarged piston head may be slideably moveable within the gas cylinder body and define first and second gas cylinder chambers on opposing first and second sides of the enlarged piston head. The enlarged piston head may have an orifice therethrough permitting gas flow between the first gas cylinder chamber and the hollow piston shaft.
