The invention provides a rim for a braked aircraft wheel, the rim comprising an outer circular portion (103) terminated at its ends by flanges (106a, 106b) for receiving a tire, the outer circular portion being connected by a wheel disk (105) to a hub (104) for fitting on an undercarriage axle in order to rotate about an axis of rotation coinciding with a central axis (X) of the rim, the rim being designed to receive a tire on the outside of the outer circular portion and a brake on the inside, on one side of the wheel disk. According to the invention, the outer circular portion (103a) on the side of the wheel disk that is to receive a brake presents, in a plane containing the central axis of the wheel, a profile that has two slopes α, β relative to a direction parallel to the central axis on going from the wheel disk to the corresponding flange, and flaring towards the flange.
