Abstract

A connection () between a rim portion () and a face portion () of a composite wheel (). The rim portion () comprises a first set of fibers (). The face portion () comprises a second set of fibers (). The connection () comprises a transition zone () in which the first set of fibers () and the second set of fibers () are arranged in a layered structure. Each layer (A,B,C) of the layer structure includes a first section () including an arrangement of the first set of fibers (), and a first connection end (), and a second section () including an arrangement of the second set of fibers (), and a second connection end (). The first connection end () is arranged adjacent to or abutting the second connection end () forming a layer joint (A,B,C). The layer joint (A,B,C) of each adjoining layer (A,B,C) is spaced apart in a stepped configuration.
