What do you guys call the cylinders that bolt your car's 4 corners wrapped in tires? Do you call them rims or wheels? Or something else, you strange person you. I think they should be wheels, because thats what they are, and always have been called that. When I think of rims I think of gangsta rappers that don't know what they are talking about "y0 look at my rimz on my whip!"

I call them rims when they arent wrapped in rubber and wheels when they are. Or when defining between aftermarket and OEM. Aftermarket rims and factory wheels.

yeah i agree with navy. a wheels is a complete rim tire package. were as a rim is Just the rim itself. but i would even call a factory rim as itself a rim. and as a complete rim/tire again a wheel.

The correct term is wheels, a rim is a part of a wheel.
