Shown left, right and below are two of the parts of the wheel assembly.
The wheels are actually made in three separate parts, the third part is supplied pre-glued by the factory to the tyre.
The quality of the mouldings is very good and the parts fit together very well.

The tyres (Kronos version shown left), as mentioned above, come complete with the third part of the wheel assembly already glued to the inside of the tyre. This plastic moulded sleeve has strengthening ribs running across its width, which can be seen in the picture on the right. The tyres have the usual foam liner, which is glued to both the plastic moulding and the tyre. PMT Pegaso Tyre
