A wheel for a motor vehicle has a rim spider provided with air openings and a rim well connected with this rim spider. The rim well and the rim spider are formed by shell parts which each have a molded-out interior and exterior wall and which are connected with one another by at least one connection. Between abutting wall areas of adjacent air openings of the shell parts, hollow spokes are formed and at least one exterior annulus and one interior annulus. On the interior side, the wheel parts are provided with reinforcing ribs on mutually opposite surfaces. The materials used for the wheel parts are a magnesium alloy, an aluminum alloy, a steel alloy or a titanium alloy.
