Abstract
The invention relates to a wheel, especially for motor vehicles, comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, the wheel rim having a rim base made of fiber composite material. The invention is characterized in that the wheel disc (3, 11, 20, 29, 40) can be indirectly connected to the wheel rim (1), in particular the rim base (2), by means of a connecting element (5, 14, 22, 31, 35, 42) which is designed and associated with the rim base (2) in such a way that the connected wheel disc (3, 11, 20, 29, 40) is not in contact with the rim base (2).

-18. (canceled)
A wheel, comprising:
- a wheel rim comprising a rim base made of fiber composite material, the rim base comprising a well that includes an inner contour that faces radially inwardly;
- a connecting element connected to and fully enclosing the inner contour of the wheel rim, the connecting element including a radially inwardly extending flange ring;
- and
- a wheel disc connected to the flange ring of the connecting element, wherein the connecting element is interposed between the wheel rim and wheel disc and spaces apart the rim base from the wheel disc.
A wheel, comprising:
- a wheel rim comprising a rim base made of fiber composite material, the rim base comprising a well that includes an inner contour that projects radially inwardly;
- a ring-shaped connecting element connected to the inner contour of the wheel rim, and
- a wheel disc connected to the connecting element, wherein the connecting element is interposed between the wheel rim and wheel disc and spaces apart the rim base from the connecting element.
A wheel, comprising:
- a wheel rim comprising a rim base made of fiber composite material,
- a plurality of connecting elements, wherein a portion of each of the plurality of connecting elements is integrated into the wheel rim, and
- a wheel disc connected to the flange rings of the connecting element, wherein the connecting element is interposed between the wheel rim and wheel disc and spaces apart the rim base from the connecting element.
