Patent ID: 8672102

Claim:
A vehicle brake system comprising: a first wheel including a first concave surface disposed on an outboard side of the first wheel, a first convex surface disposed on an inboard side of the first wheel, a first hub providing an axis of rotation for the first wheel, and a first tire-supporting portion, the first concave surface and the first convex surface extending between and connecting the first tire-supporting portion and the first hub; a second wheel disposed adjacent to the first wheel and including a common axis of rotation, the second wheel further including a second concave surface disposed on an outboard side of the second wheel and a second convex surface disposed on an inboard side of the second wheel, the second concave surface and the second convex surface extending between and connecting a second tire-supporting portion and a second hub, the second convex surface opposing the first convex surface; a first rotor attached to the first wheel proximate to a first axially outboard edge of the first wheel and disposed adjacent to the first tire-supporting portion; a first caliper assembly arranged to retain and operatively engage a first friction element against the first rotor; a second rotor attached to the second wheel proximate to a second axially outboard edge of the second wheel and disposed adjacent to the second tire-supporting portion; and a second caliper assembly arranged to retain and operatively engage a second friction element against the second rotor.
