A wheel assembly for a motorcycle provides two wheel and hub assemblies which are attached together along the outer rim of the mated and aligned hubs, providing a space between the two hubs along the axle for insertion of a brake rotor and brake mechanism within the wheel assembly while also providing the brake fluid flow through axle, partially concealing the brake and rotor within the wheel assembly instead of having the brake rotor and mechanism on the outside of a motorcycle wheel.

What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle and motorcycle wheel assembly comprising: a first wheel segment defining a rim portion having a first inner connecting flange, an inner rim surface and an outer retaining flange, a spoke portion and a hub portion having an axle bore and a first axle bearing; a second wheel segment defining a rim portion having a second inner connecting flange, an inner rim surface and an outer retaining flange, a spoke portion and a hub portion having an axle bore and a second axle bearing; an axle defining a neck, a first end providing a first axle mounting bolt bore, and a second end having a flattened portion and providing a second axle mounting bore, said first wheel segment attached to said second wheel segment along said first and second inner connecting flanges by a plurality of flange bolts attaching through a plurality of aligned flange holes in each inner connecting flange, with said axle passing through said aligned axle bores of each first and second wheel segments and said first and second axle bearings set within each axle bore, said first and second ends of said axle adapted to be attached to a chassis or motorcycle frame, with a tire applied upon said inner rim surfaces of said assembled wheel assembly between said two outer retaining flanges of said assembled first and second wheel segments; and a brake assembly attached upon said axle between said hub portions of said first and second wheel segments prior to assembly providing said brake assembly within said first and second wheel segments, said brake assembly further comprising: a caliper mounting bracket having an axle bore and defining a caliper arm having at least two caliper holes, said caliper mounting bracket having a bracket fluid channel from said axle bore to said caliper arm, said bracket fluid channel having an outer port and an inner port aligned with said inner channel port of said brake fluid channel of said axle, wherein said first and second wheel bearings within each first and second wheel segments are affixed to said axle allowing said first and second wheel segments to rotate about the axle freely, while said axle is a fixed to said chassis or motorcycle frame without rotation, with said caliper mounting bracket also affixed to said axle without rotation; a brake caliper attached to said caliper arm by at least two caliper bolts, said brake caliper having brake pads and a brake fluid line connected to said outer port of said bracket fluid channel in said caliper mounting bracket; and a brake rotor mounted to a rotor mounting plate incorporated onto said hub portion of said first wheel segment, said brake rotor having an inner portion defining a central bore through which said axle is placed, said inner portion providing a plurality of rotor plate holes attaching to a plurality of rotor mounting plate holes in said rotor mounting plate by a plurality of rotor bolts, wherein said brake rotor is positioned between said brake pads of said brake caliper, said brake pads pinching said brake rotor between said two brake pads when said brake caliper is compressed, causing rotation of said brake rotor to cease, thus causing the rotation of said wheel assembly to cease. 2. The wheel assembly as disclosed in claim 1, further comprising: said first and second inner connecting flanges include a flange plate placed between said first and second inner connecting flanges to provide an air-tight seal between said first and second inner connecting flanges to eliminate any potential air loss from said tire mounted upon said wheel assembly. 3. The wheel assembly, as disclosed in claim 1, further comprising: said first end of said axle providing an extension bore within which is attached a first end extension having a first axle mounting bolt bore, said neck including a brake fluid channel having an outer channel bore within said second end of said axle and an inner channel bore between said first and second ends of said axle.
