It's wheels, not rims. One of my biggest pet peeves. But yes, those WHEELS are very nice.

While I prefer the term wheel also...the term Rim by definition is also correct.

rim (rĭm) Pronunciation Key
n.
1) The usually curved or circular border or edge of an object.
2) The circular outer part of a wheel, furthest from the axle.
3) A circular metal structure around which a wheel tire is fitted.

Congrats. 1 out of the 3 defintion's are "correct". That fails in my eyes, wheel is the much more preferred term. Rim can also have many other meanings that's not even in the automotive world. Rim of the hoop in basketball for one example.


Look on tirerack.com, let me know if you notice any indication or example of "rim" or "rims".

Wheels have rims, rims don't have wheels.
