A wheel includes illumination built into the wheel, such as one or more LEDs disposed within the wheel itself. Unlike add-one lighting accessories, the LEDs may be integrated with the wheel to avoid disconnection from the wheel. The wheels can include a centrally located power supply and a switch. An optional cover may be disposed over the wheel. With the LEDs formed into the wheel, the optional covers may be flush with and shaped in a shape to match the wheel. The wheels may be wheels from cars, trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and the like. When the wheel may be visible from both sides, as in the case with motorcycles, the LEDs may be disposed and integrated in both sides of the wheel.
