A wheel construction includes a circular wheel rim which receives a tire, the rim having axially inner and outer portions each having a flange providing a seat for a bead. The wheel construction including a mid-portion, and side parts connecting the mid and outer portions the mid-portion including a circumferential well where the radius of the wheel rim is a minimum, at least one of the side parts including plurality of curved regions the plurality of curved regions each being immediately adjacent to each other whereby the side part continuously undulates. Each curved region provides at least a further two circumferential well. For each adjacent two curved regions, there is an effective angle of between 25° and 45° between a plane normal to the axis of the wheel and a line struck tangentially at a point of inflection between the two curved regions.
