Rims vs. Wheels

sprint cars use 3 piece wheels . Two rims and a hub make a wheel. Some are 5 piece, 2 lock rings , 2 rims and 1 hub/center for bead lock make a wheel. The hub/center is part of the wheel.

If someone says rim or wheel usually it means what the tire is mounted to.

Sort of like when my dad took his "belt" off and "strapped" my ***. "Belt" or "strap" I new what it meant.
