One or more wheel apparatuses are provided. The wheel apparatus comprises one or more rigid climbing members that extend to the outer perimeter of the wheel apparatus and are configured to maintain shape and/or relative position over all surfaces the wheel apparatus encounters. The wheel apparatus comprises one or more selective flex zones located adjacent to rigid climbing members, constructed to be passively compressed when the wheel apparatus encounters an obstacle in the path of the wheel apparatus. The wheel apparatus comprises one or more support zones located adjacent to selective flex zones that provide support for smooth rotary motion when not traversing obstacles.

A turf wheel having a wheel rim having an inner and outer surface, and an annular tread portion; a plurality of projections extending radially outward from the outer surface of the wheel rim, wherein each projection provides a stem, a ground contacting pad, and a ground engaging lug; and a hub. A wheel cleaning system having a frame provided by a wheeled apparatus; at least one turf wheel mounted to the frame; a turf wheel scraper assembly, the turf wheel scraper assembly providing a turf wheel scraper and an attachment mechanism, where the attachment mechanism is adapted to be mounted to the frame, and couples the turf wheel scraper to the frame.

Wheel hub adaptor (11) attachable to vehicle wheel to attach vehicle accessory for rotation with vehicle wheel, has an inner mounting plate (15) with recesses or apertures (17) to match a vehicle wheel stud pattern, a body (19) extending from the plate (15) to an outer mounting plate (27) having a mount to which the vehicle accessory attaches. The mount has apertures (65) which align with studs (75) on a mating mount of the vehicle accessory. The inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate mount to the vehicle wheel and vehicle accessory respectively, by rotating apertures (17 65) to stop portions (35 71), and is secured by a bolt passing through one of two circular apertures (43 45) or (67 69). Vehicle accessories can be provided like a paddle to self-propel the vehicle in sand, and a wheel to widen the vehicle track.

A tire traction attachment device for a plurality of support beams being inserted into a tire and adjustable arms providing traction includes a base. The base has a peripheral surface and a back surface. A plurality of spike holders is positioned in a circular pattern relative to the base. Each spike of a plurality of spikes is inserted into a respective one of each of the spike holders. Each of the spikes has telescopic functions for adjusting the position relative to each of the spike holders. A plurality of support beams has a distal end and a proximal end relative to the base. The proximal end of each of the support beams is coupled to the back surface of the base and the distal end of each of the support beams is coupled to a mounting base.
