What do you call the part that a vehicle rolls on which sits within the tire? The most common answers are rim and wheel, but there are also some variations on what constitutes a rim and a wheel.
I call them wheels if stock, rims if aftermarket
I call them "wheels" under any circumstances. I find the term "rim" to be stupid, and related to the tuner crowd (as buickgnx88 said), which is a crowd I don't want to be associated with, to be honest.
Hey, did I gave you this idea when I PM'ed you earlier this evening with my question about rims, tires and wheels? 💡What do you call the part that a vehicle rolls on which sits within the tire?

Agreed with this definition, though also with Duke that the "rim" is actually the part that he mentions.

in other spanish-speaking countries, "llanta" means "tire", while "rin" means "wheel".

I knew that, that's why I said; lol. I thought it was a typo and wanted to get your attention in a discreet way, so you could change it. Stupid me.Maybe vs. MaybayMaybay is Maybe, but in the way that the character Fat Bastard says it.
Nope, I haven't.Haha guess you haven't seen Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me!
In my view:
Rim (Metallic circle with spokes) + Tire (Rubber around the rim) = Wheel (Complete set of Rim and Tire, a car has four).
