Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite wheel. The wheel is composed by mats of oriented carbon fibers. The mats are impregnated with a synthetic resin. The wheel is composed of at least two portions previously built up, which form respectively the hub and the rim of the wheel. The rim portion can, viewed from a direction perpendicular to the central axis, have a section substantially symmetric relative to a central plane of symmetry, the distance measured from a side of the section facing the central axis to the central axis predominantly increasing in the direction pointing away from the mirror plane, and the hub portion having a correspondingly comically shaped outer edge, which fittingly lies against the side of the rim portion facing the central axis over a substantial distance.
