Abstract: A composite wheel assembly and method of construction thereof is provided. The composite wheel assembly includes a wheel having an inwardly facing surface, an outwardly facing surface, a generally cylindrical barrel portion, and a plurality of apertures formed about a central hub aperture. At least one wheel cladding is fixedly bonded to at least one of the inwardly facing surface, the outwardly facing surface, and the generally cylindrical barrel portion. The wheel cladding increases the stiffness and/or strength of the wheel between about 2-16% or greater as compared to the wheel not having the at least one cladding.

Abstract: A wheel assembly including a wheel (100) and a wheel clad (200). The wheel (100) includes a wheel outer rim portion (112), a wheel inner hub portion (106) adapted to receive an axle therethrough, and a plurality of wheel spokes (116) extending radially between the wheel outer rim portion (112) and the wheel inner hub portion (106). The wheel has an outer surface having a plurality of wheel turbine openings (120) therein. The wheel turbine openings (120) have a first area. The wheel clad (200) includes a clad outer rim portion (206) axially aligned with at least a portion of the wheel outer rim portion (112), a clad inner hub portion (208) axially aligned with at least a portion of the wheel inner hub portion (106), and a plurality of clad spokes (201) extending radially between the clad outer rim portion (206) and clad inner hub portion (208). The clad (200) has a plurality of clad turbine openings (214) each having a second area. The second area is substantially less than the first area. The clad/wheel assembly has a drag coefficient of substantially less than that of the wheel by itself.
