Wheels.

Wheel.

Also kind of depends on how active you are in the car scene. People who know little about cars seem to call them rims. -.-

Mindfuck much?^^

[RedE46Bimmer]

wheels 100%

i **** when people say rims as much as i **** when people say motor instead of engine. a motor is an electrically driven device like power seats or windshield wiper motor and the engine is what propels the car.

/minirant lol

Google Wheels and you get this:


Google Rims and you get this:


Urban Dictionary says for rims:

The outer part of a wheel that supports a tire. The urban definition of rim would be the entire wheel. Obviously some people were very unknowledgeable to cars and now rim means wheel, how gay.

So Wheels.

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.

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