Most of the exterior skin would be made of aluminium.

Also, the aluminum skin is riveted to the structure that includes frame, ribs, stringers and wing spar. These are also made of aluminum in most airplanes. Sometimes the wing spar will include a steel beam. More modern designs use composite structures and rely less on aluminum.
