Ok this is just somthing that had been bothering me and yea I know I have made this mistake also. They are called Wheels not Rims. Tires go on wheels and the tire is held in place by the rim on the wheels. So when people say i want to get some 18" Rims they should say I want some 18" wheels.
Just had to let that out. -------------------- |

Anthrax is a disease , but in most circumstances that name is made in reference to the bacterium that causes it, much like anything else that has been shortened to make reading, writing and pronunciation easier on the hands, eyes , and mouth. The same would go for calling rim > wheel i believe , its has fewer letters and and can be less mistaken for other words like reel, real, will, whilst, well, especially if someone is newer to english. Give it some and Webster might an addition to their book.
