The two molding devices each have one rim flank contact surface. The circular device includes a rim well contact surface. Tool components are provided, and a first varnish coat is applied to a rim contact surface and is dried. A first fiber layer of the fibrous composite material is applied to the flank contact surface of the molding devices, forming the outer fiber layers of the pertaining rim flanks.
