Rims vs Wheels

[BTM]

Mine called ramz

I call them either wheels or alloys but I'm not bothered if someone has their own name for them.

then there is this ...

A wheel is a device that allows heavy objects to be moved easily through rotating on an axle through its center, facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load (mass), or performing labor in machines. Common examples found in transport applications. A wheel, together with an axle, overcomes friction by facilitating motion by rolling. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by application of another external force. More generally the term is also used for other circular objects that rotate or turn, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel and flywheel.

and this .....

The rim of a wheel is the outer circular design of the metal on which the inside edge of the tire is mounted on vehicles such as automobiles.[1] For example, on a bicycle wheel the rim is a large hoop attached to the outer ends of the spokes of the wheel that holds the tire and tube.

In the 1rst millennium BC an iron rim was introduced around the wooden wheels of chariots.

and finally this ...

Rim is an old-fashioned term that was used when referring to wagon wheel - thus the term "wheel rim." It means the outer-most edge of the wagon wheel where there was a steel band the surrounded the wooden spokes. The dictionary defines a rim as:

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.

Rim, n. [As. rima, reoma, edge; cf. W. rhim, rhimp, a rim, edge, boundary, termination, Armor, rim. Cf. Rind.] 1. The border, edge, or margin of a thing, usually of something circular or curving; as, the rim of a kettle or basin. . . the outer part of a wheel to which the tire is attached.

The correct term these days for identifying the metal structure that the tire goes on is wheel or wheel rim.

Aluminum rims and alloy wheels also mean the same thing. Alloy is a shortened version of aluminum alloy and, when referring to either an alloy wheel or an aluminum rim, both terms mean the same thing.

Most modern tire and wheel shops use these terms:


Aluminum or alloy wheel - as opposed to aluminum or alloy rim
Wheel - as opposed to rim or wheel rim
Steel wheel - as opposed to steel rim or metal rims
