Claim:
1. A wheel rim extender device removably mountable on a wheel having a tyre retaining rim for engaging an outer surface of a tyre, the device comprising: an annular member configured to be mounted to the wheel for location adjacent a sidewall of the tyre mounted on the wheel, wherein the annular member comprises an edge portion which defines an outer circumference of the annular member, a support portion disposed radially inward of the edge portion, and a central aperture, wherein, when the annular member is mounted to the wheel, the edge portion extends radially outwardly beyond an outer edge of the wheel so as to cover a portion of the tyre sidewall, and the central aperture provides access to wheel mounting bolts to allow the wheel to be removed with the rim extender mounted to the wheel, and wherein the edge portion has a greater flexibility than the support portion and is formed by partially or completely over-moulding the support portion.
