When did it change?

I have seen ads that show rims as wheels, tires as wheels and packages as wheels. Correct me if I am wrong; Rims are rims, Tires are tires, and a tire on a rim is a wheel. Anyone agree with me??

 

actually a rim and a center as an assembly is a wheel. a tire on a wheel is a wheel tire combo

 

.........I'm not sure I understand where you're going with this, but a tire on a rim is just that, a tire on a rim, not a wheel.

 

It changed to the general public about the tire pimp my ride came on tv, wheels became rims long before that in da hood. Retailers are just following suit

 

A rim in actual definition is the hoop around the wheel center or spider.
The rim and spider combo is a wheel.

 

When they invented the wheel I don't think they'd invented tyres yet.

 

Seriously ?????? Some of you guys let too much bug you.

 

Different strokes for different folks! HRP

 

yup. need more build threads.

 

OT, your right, Im right ... everyone else is wrong. Now if we can just solve the wheel cover/hubcap controversy.... And if there is only seven days in a week then why is Sunday repeated three times? .... "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!"

 

Done. Now close the fucker.

 

A Wheel = rim+spokes+hub

A Tire = shirt+pants+shoes

Ba dum, thud..

Take this as good natured ribbing please, but "wheels" changed to "rims" about the time young guys started referring to Model "A"s as "five window coupes"...
