Rim (1), comprising a rim body (2) with rim flanks (3), a rim bed (12) and a rim floor (22), at which the rim flanks (2) meet at the radially innermost point (15), and with opposing rim horns (4), which each extend from one of the rim flanks (3) to a radially outermost point (5), such that the rim horns (4) form side walls (20) opposing the rim flanks (3). The widest point (25) of the rim body (2) is located below the rim bed (12) and above a horizontal center line (35). The width (250) at the widest point (25) is at least one quarter larger than a clear rim width (14) between the rim horns (4). The side walls (20) have a defined curvature profile (6) with an inflection point (16), which is arranged between the radially outermost point (5) and the widest point (25) and lies outside the rim horn (4). At the inflection point (16), a transition from a concave curvature (26) to a convex curvature (36) takes place. The convex curvature (36) is located between the inflection point (16) and the widest point (25). The concave curvature (26) is located between the inflection point (16) and the radially outermost point (5).
