anyone know what rims these are?
I was stopping by my local walmart and saw this TSX SE with some nice rims. Anyone know what type of rims these are? They look really good. im not sure if the owner is also a acurazine member. if so, i do apologize for taking a pic of the car but i liked your rims.

I've never really gave it much though before, though it's crossed my mind...
So let me get this straight, rims are usually 22" and chrome, typically found on an old Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Impala, and wheels are anything else that actually look nice...
It's a fine line I guess...

I've seen wheels that are black in the center, with a chrome rim, on it...
Therefor, anyone who calls a wheel a "rim" is like calling an airplane a wing, it's just a part of it...
I think it's somewhat regional, and many people never know the difference, but it most certainly makes since, but what's a wheel called without a tire installed?

wait... I always thought a rim was... well... the entire metal thingy the tire sits on. A wheel was a tire+rim.
I dunno.

The hub is the center portion of the wheel and is what attaches the wheel to the suspension. The spokes radiate out from the hub and attach to the rim. The rim is the outer part of the wheel that holds the tire. While many people refer to wheels as "rims," this is technically incorrect.

So if you scuff a curb, you can take your wheel to a shop and have them just give you a rimjob and you'll be all better.

I've seen wheels separate at the spoke and rim during accidents, now I can say it right...
Also, is it possible for a wheel weight to move out of place upon impact?

"The wheels on the bus go round and round" - until the rim hits the crub and all the air goes out.
The rim is the outermost part of the wheel that holds the tire (or tyre) in place. Technically, the part of the wheel without the rim is called the "disk" which is attached to the hub which is attached to the axle. The rim, disk and hub make up the wheel. The differentiation was made when you talk about multi-part wheels, where you can select your own hub and setback as well as your rim - choosing various finishes and sizes.
It is kind of like "tint" and "tints". Tint is technically correct but many people say "tints"

I feel so much dumber now, reading that sign. Well, attempting to read that sign.

Sure. Wheel weights are either clipped on (steel wheels and some alloys) or stuck on with double sided foam tape. If clipped on, they can shift and while a glued on weight can shift, more commonly they just fall off.

This is the V4 TSX right?

More likely, it was residue from an old weight. A stick on weight doesn't just jump to a new location and you would have vibration if it was 2 inches off.
