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 ).

Claims (3)

1. A wheel comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base made of fiber composite material and the wheel disc can be connected to the wheel rim by a connecting element designed and associated with the rim base in such a way that the connected wheel disc is not in contact with the rim base, the connecting element being neither a part of the wheel rim nor a part of the wheel disc, wherein a separation layer is arranged in a connecting area between the connecting element and the wheel disc.

2. A wheel comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base made of fiber composite material and the wheel disc can be connected to the wheel rim by a connecting element designed and associated with the rim base in such a way that the connected wheel disc is not in contact with the rim base, the connecting element being neither a part of the wheel rim nor a part of the wheel disc, wherein a separation layer is arranged in an area of contact between the rim base and the connecting element, and wherein the separation material consists of a material which has a thermal resistance that is greater than a thermal resistance of the material of the connecting element.

3. A wheel comprising a wheel rim and a wheel disc, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base made of fiber composite material and the wheel disc can be connected to the wheel rim by a connecting element designed and associated with the rim base in such a way that the connected wheel disc is not in contact with the rim base, the connecting element being neither a part of the wheel rim nor a part of the wheel disc, wherein a separation layer is arranged in a connecting area between the connecting element and the wheel disc, and wherein the separation layer consists of a material which has a thermal resistance that is greater than a thermal resistance of the material of the connecting element.
