spokeless
Lacking radial supports
Spokeless describes a wheel lacking the radiating bars that typically connect hub to rim.
The word appears in discussions of innovative wheel designs—solid discs, mag wheels, or conceptual hubless designs: The concept car featured spokeless rear wheels.
Figuratively rare, but could describe anything missing its expected supporting structure.
