A full face wheel construction is provided for sports and/or recreational vehicles and the like of the type which can be used in both off-road application and high-speed highway environments. The wheel construction includes a full face disc having a plurality of windows therethrough, and an outboard flange. A rim is attached to an interior surface of the outboard flange between inward and outward edges thereof to define a bead seat thereabove and a cavity therebelow in which debris can collect. An insert ring is provided for reception into the cavity, and has a marginal size and cross- sectional shape commensurate with the same. The insert ring is flexible to facilitate insertion into the cavity from an open, inboard side of the rim, and includes an exterior surface which extends from the inward ends of the outboard flange in a normally horizontal direction to the rim to completely fill the cavity and thereby prevent the accumulation of debris therein, yet is substantially hidden from outboard view behind the disc to avoid detracting from the styled appearance of the wheel.
