A vehicle wheel (4) comprises a hub (8), a rim (32), and at least one connecting spoke (52) between the hub (8) and the rim (32). The at least one spoke (52) comprises, in the region of a rim-attachment portion (60), a first duct (68) which is arranged substantially radially and a second duct (72) which is arranged substantially axially and is in communication with the first duct (68). The second duct (72) constitutes a seat for an inflatation valve (94) that can be associated with the wheel (4). The inflatation valve (94) is easily accessible for operations to inflate a tyre (44) mounted on the rim (32).
