A vehicle wheel having a rim, or a rim of a vehicle wheel, is provided wherein the rim consists of a fiber-reinforced plastic material in the form of several layers of a fiber-reinforced semi-finished plastic product. The layers are shaped to form a finished component in a press while heat is supplied. The rim conventionally consists of a rim well, whose two sides are adjoined by a rim shoulder, which transitions into a rim flange. The rim well is formed by several layers of a base laminate, which extends to the rim flange, between which layers further layers are inserted in the area of the rim shoulder as well as of the rim flange. The further layers have an essentially tangential fiber alignment.

A construction element () which extends in two dimensions comprises a solar energy converter member () which also extends along and defines one surface of the construction element (). The construction element () further comprises a building construction member () which extends along the construction element () and defines the second surface thereof. At least a part of the solar energy converter member () is integral with at least a part of the building construction member () whereby this integral part both contributes to the requirements for solar energy conversion as well as to requirements for constructions.
