Abstract: A wheel, particularly for cycles or motorcycles, which comprises a rim which has, in transverse cross-section, a polygonal shape, preferably a V-shape. The rim has, at the internal region, an insert or guide which is arc-like, for the resting and sliding of a complementarily shaped end of a spoke which is shaped like an open loop. The ends of the spoke can be inserted at appropriately provided openings formed in the rim in a region that is adjacent to the arc-like guide or insert.
