Abstract

The present invention relates to an aerodynamic cover (10) for a rim (1) and a rim (1) for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle. The aerodynamic cover (10) according to the invention comprises a base body (11) configured to cover a gap between two spokes (21) of a rim structure (20), and a seal (12). The seal (12) in turn comprises a first sealing section (121) and a second sealing section (122), wherein the first sealing section (121) is configured to seal a gap between the base body (11) and a spoke (21) of the rim structure (20) at least partially, and the second sealing section (122) is configured to seal a gap between the base body (11) and a rim bed (22) of the rim structure (20) at least partially.
