Abstract
A steering wheel for a motor vehicle has a steering wheel rim which is closed on all sides and which is connected with a central steering wheel hub by way of radially projecting spokes. The steering wheel rim includes sections which are connected with one another in the cross-section, one forming a decorative section which has a different material at least on the exterior side. In the gripping area of the steering wheel rim which is predominantly gripped by the hands in the driving operation, the decorative section is reduced in its grippable width by the pulled-around other rim section.
