Vehicle wheel with cover elements for the spaces between the spokes

A vehicle wheel having a hub and spokes with spaces arranged between the spokes, comprising:

• cover elements respectively provided for the spaces between the spokes, said cover elements not entirely covering the respective spaces between the spokes;
• rigid cap elements respectively provided for the spaces between the spokes in addition to the cover elements, wherein
• a respective cover element of the cover elements deforms according to temperature such that, at higher temperatures, a passage of air through a region of a space between the spokes is opened, which passage is otherwise covered by the respective cover element at lower temperatures, and
• a respective rigid cap element of the rigid cap elements continuously covers the associated space between the spokes, and
• the rigid cap elements have a configuration which deviates for a portion from a flat shape and is curved outward away from the outside of the wheel, such that an associated cover element deformed toward an inside of the wheel at higher temperatures frees up the passage of air through the space between the spokes and at lower temperatures in the non-deformed state prevents such a passage of air despite the curvature of the rigid cap element.
