A non-pneumatic tire includes a wheel portion, a tread ring portion, a plurality of flexible spokes extending between and attached to the wheel portion and the tread ring portion, and plurality of bump stops positioned between the wheel portion and the tread ring portion. The bumps stops are configured to limit deformation and/or compressive strain of the plurality of flexible spokes. The plurality of bump stops includes a plurality of tower bump stops, a plurality of triangular-shaped bump stops, and/or a plurality of roof-top shaped bump stops.

The invention relates to a method for producing a wheel rim having a rim base of a fiber composite material. The problem to be solved by the invention is that of improving the production of the wheel rim, and especially to ensure a reliably functioning wheel structure which can be achieved with little financial and technical outlay. The problem is solved in that during the production of the rim base (2) a connection element (3, 13, 21, 31, 42, 51) is joined to the rim base (2), said connection element (3, 13, 21, 31, 42, 51) being designed and arranged in such a way that a wheel disc (4, 14, 22, 36, 45) can be connected to said connection element (3, 13, 21, 31, 42, 51).

A method for applying a protective coating to a wheel hub unit includes mounting the wheel hub unit on a platform and applying a layer of the protective coating to a front surface of a mounting flange of the wheel hub unit. A shield covers a central annular portion of the front surface of the wheel hub unit to protect the central annular portion from the layer of protective coating, which can damage markings and magnetic components formed on the central annular portion. A handling arm attaches to the shield to hold the shield in place an axial distance away from the central annular portion of the front face.

A non-pneumatic tire includes an attachment body (11) attached to an axle, a ring member (14) including an inner rim (12) fitted onto the attachment body (11) and an outer rim (13) configured to surround the inner rim (12) from the outside in a tire radial direction, and a plurality of connecting members (15) disposed between the inner rim (12) and the outer rim (13) in a tire circumferential direction and configured to connect the rims (12) and (13) to each other, wherein at least a portion of the ring member (14) and the plurality of connecting members (15) are formed of a synthetic resin material having a bending modulus of elasticity obtained through a 3-point bending test pursuant to International Standard ISO 178 of 300 MPa or more, and a breaking strain obtained through a tension test pursuant to International Standard ISO 527-1 and 2 of 3% or more.
