COMPOSITE RIM FOR A VEHICLE WHEEL

The invention relates to a composite rim (1) for a vehicle wheel, comprising a drum (2) provided with a rim base (3) intended to receive a tire, and a web (4) provided with a central hub (5) intended to be mounted on a vehicle axle and a plurality of connecting elements (6) extending between the central hub and the drum. The rim comprising a composite flange (7) which is attached, at least partially covers said web, forms the outer face of the rim, and comprises a central opening (8) at the level of the central hub. The flange is designed to conform in whole or in part to the shapes of the web (4), and to be secured to the connecting elements (6) and to the central hub (5) of the web as well as to the peripheral edge of the drum (2) to form a reinforced monobloc structural rim.
