Flexible Wheel Rim With Floating Hooks

A vehicle rim, with symmetry of revolution, adapted for the mounting of a tire, comprising:

• an axially central part comprising a disc;
• two lateral parts, at least one of the lateral parts being separate from the axially central part, each of the lateral parts being provided with a rim seat adapted to receive a bead of a tire, the axially central part and the two lateral parts being made from a rigid matrix that can be reinforced by a reinforcement;
• an intermediate part that forms the only mechanical link between the axially central part and each lateral part that is separate from the axially central part, this intermediate part being made of a flexible matrix reinforced by a reinforcement comprising a plurality of reinforcement elements, the Young's modulus of uniaxial extension of the flexible matrix being greater than and equal to 1 MPa and less than or equal to 100 MPa, the Young's modulus of uniaxial extension of the reinforcement elements being greater than or equal to 5 GPa;
• wherein the Young's modulus of uniaxial extension of the rigid matrix is greater than or equal to 5 GPa.
