Wheels, Mags, or Rims?

Ok well i've been having this debate with some of my friends whether the things inside the tires are called Wheels, Mags or Rims. I take the side of Wheels, what do you think?

Re: Wheels, Mags, or Rims?

It's not an open issue. Tires go on wheels. Objective fact.

Re: Wheels, Mags, or Rims?

Agree, wheels.

Mag wheel-a wheel containing magnesium or aluminum generally alloyed with steel, which makes it lighter in weight and shinier than an ordinary steel wheel: used esp. on racing cars and sports cars.

Rim-a circular strip of metal forming the connection between an automobile wheel and tire, either permanently attached to or removable from the wheel.

You guys are too bored. Give 'em another beer! lol

Re: Wheels, Mags, or Rims?

You sound like my roomate. He's so stubborn he wont admit that "wheel studs" are called just that. He calls em lugs even though the auto parts store calls em studs. This debate started after he cross threaded 4 out of 5 of the studs on my truck. lol

Oh and yes definately "wheels". Rims are the things that keep spinning after the car is stopped in a rap video lol. And what the hell is a mag? Is that a magnesium wheel?
