A vehicle steering wheel comprises a steering wheel skeleton having a hub section, which has a bush extending around a central insertion opening and at least one separate reinforcement plate connected with the bush which is embedded into a die cast section of the steering wheel skeleton. The bush has a groove directed radially outwards, into which an edge of a recess in the reinforcement plate projects. The reinforcement plate is arranged on the bush through a joint connection by material conjunction.
