A wheel carrier for a vehicle suspension, intended for the rotatable mounting of a wheel, having a wheel carrier body made of metal is adapted to provide a stable, weight-optimized wheel suspension. The wheel carrier includes a wheel-attachment section and an extension projecting upwardly therefrom with means at its upper end for attaching an inboard-projecting control arm. A portion of the extension is offset inboard relative to the upper end and includes a hybrid section in which the wheel carrier body is reinforced in sections by a reinforcing element made of a fiber composite material.
