What is a "Rim"?????
I've been driving and owning cars since 1945. All of my cars have had wheels. All of these wheels have had rims. However, what all of you members have been calling "Rims" are really wheels! Correct?

The younger generations keep changing the language when referring to wheels or aftermarket wheels. You probably remember the styled steel wheels and "mags"(magnesium alloy wheels); I grew up calling aluminum wheels "mags" and then "alloys."
This "rims" business isn't as bad as the "bling" and "spinners" references, though.
