I am with a company that designs and manufacturers devices that fit inside standard tyres and wheels to permit the driver to continue with one or more tyres damaged. They operate best if fitted to 2-piece take-apart wheels. We are looking for manufacturers of steel, alloy and titanium take aparty wheels in 16 and 20" diameters. I would also like to exchange views on what is desirable and achievable in present runflat technology.

You're no doubt aware of Hutchinson who are the market leaders in Europe for military runflats. I've been in UK military vehicle engineering since 1975 and nobody has come up with better systems. (I have no personal or commercial invlovement with Hutchinson).

But I'd be interested in any company that comes up with something better / cheaper / lighter.

I will gladly identify your inquiry. Let me know if you still need them as I am new on the posting and this is a little older than I thought.
