How is this thread still going on? Who the hell calls them "rims?"

[stealthfighter1]

come on get yo' rim job , come on get yo' rim job, ooohhh baby!!!!!!! : line from the movie "soul men"

Usually at tire places the "object" on which the tire is mounted is refered to as a "rim" , while a "rim" and tire is refered to as a "wheel" . i've always called them wheels , and it is true; people that aren't into cars as much use the term "rim" , which to me sounds erroneous.

I say "Would you like to observe my new set of wheels I have purchased and mounted to my vehicle?", when Im around my white friends. Then I say "Say dawg come check out my rims!" when Im around my black and or Mesican friends. Wouldnt wanna confuse anyone. Lol....
RIMS FTMFW....!

Hm, I've always referred to them as solid disks or rigid circular rings connected by spokes to a hub, designed to turn around an axle passed through the center. Srsly.

I have to go with wheels but I do say rims on occasion....

I've always called them mags.




didn't see that option so I voted wheels.

I'll call magnesium wheels mags. But, they aren't that common, so I never really get to say it.

I voted wheel because I think its correct, but I say them both.

When I worked on the engine line as Nissan, everyone called the engines motors. That shit drove me crazy.

So do many Honda drivers. Motors technically refer to the electric counterpart, while an engine is a steam or gasoline version. I do like the sound of MOTOR though, makes me feel all fast and the furious inside.
