Abstract: A vehicle safety wheel is disclosed having a central disk and a rim concentrically disposed around the central disk. The central disk is compatible for mounting to a vintage hub with conventional wheel mounting hardware. The rim has an inboard flange and an outboard flange for mounting a tire to the rim, and an inner flange disposed inwardly of the outboard flange, concentric with the outboard flange for defining an annular-shaped space there-between. A fascia is adapted for mounting in the annular-shaped space, circumferentially extending between the outboard flange and the inner flange, with the fascia forming a visually continuous surface with a sidewall of the tire. The fascia may be embedded with a light source which is controlled in brightness and flashing by one of an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a brake sensor, and a turn sensor.
