Any major imperfection, such as a bend in the wheel, will transfer vibration from the wheel\/tire combination directly into the suspension and can make the vehicle shake at speed.<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"list--item\">The rim width and bead seat diameter simply indicate the size of the tire to be mounted on the wheel.<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"list--item\">Depending on the application, the flange thickness can vary to ensure it meets the design and application intent.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"list--item\">Alcoa<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0medium and heavy-duty wheels are produced and assembled with valve stems.
