March 31, 2022
The invention refers to a vehicle rim () with a rim body () made of fiber composite material, comprising a first subpreform () at a first axial end and a third subpreform () at the opposite second axial end, wherein a second subpreform () is arranged between the first subpreform () and the third subpreform (), wherein the second subpreform () engages into a front connecting cavity () formed by the first subpreform () as well as also into a rear connecting cavity () being formed by the third subpreform (). The invention also refers to a method for the production of a vehicle rim () with a rim body () made of fiber composite material, wherein an NCF material () comprising carbon fibers, glass fibers and/or aramid fibers is created respectively for the formation of a first subpreform () for a first axial end of the rim body () and of a third subpreform () for the opposite axial end of the rim body () with a connecting cavity (), respectively, wherein a second subpreform () made of a same or a similar NCF material () is inserted into the connecting cavity ( and/or ) and is fixed thereat.
