Wheels vs Rims

[codytheoutlaw]

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.

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.

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.

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. -.-

Well technically, a rim is the outer most part of a wheel (which would be the beads). So unless if you are specifically saying that part of the wheel, rim is an incorrect and completely slang term (thanks rappers) for wheels.
