A two-piece molded wheel comprising a spoke section and a barrel section, wherein the spoke section and barrel sections are joined at a drop center of the wheel, and wherein the barrel section comprises a lip in contact with a most distal surface of a leading edge of a mating surface of the spoke section, wherein a thickness of the barrel section on a first side of the lip is less than a thickness of the barrel section on a second side of the lip, wherein the mating surface of the barrel section is positioned on an interior surface of the barrel section, and wherein a portion of the mating surface of the barrel section overlaps a portion of the mating surface of the spoke section.
A two piece-wheel comprising a first section and a second section wherein the wheel comprises areas of varying diameter across a width of the wheel and the first section and second section are joined at an area of the wheel with the smallest diameter, and further wherein the second section comprises a lip in contact with a most distal surface of a leading edge of a mating surface the first section, wherein a radial thickness of the second section on a first side of the lip is less than a radial thickness of the second section on a second side of the lip, wherein the mating surface of the second section is positioned on an interior surface of the second section, and wherein a portion of the mating surface of the second section overlaps a portion of the mating surface of the first section.
