The invention relates to a method for producing a wheel rim having a rim base of a fiber composite material. The problem to be solved by the invention is that of improving the production of the wheel rim, and especially to ensure a reliably functioning wheel structure which can be achieved with little financial and technical outlay. The problem is solved in that during the production of the rim base (2) a connection element (3, 13, 21, 31, 42, 51) is joined to the rim base (2), said connection element (3, 13, 21, 31, 42, 51) being designed and arranged in such a way that a wheel disc (4, 14, 22, 36, 45) can be connected to said connection element (3, 13, 21, 31, 42, 51).
A method for the manufacture of a wheel rim, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base of fiber composite material and the method comprises connecting a connecting element to the rim base during the manufacture of the rim base, the connecting element including a connecting surface, the connecting element being designed and arranged to connect to a wheel disc solely by way of the connecting surface.
