A Rim is Not a Wheel
I guess I am old school, but I am sick of seeing wheels called rims. The outside of a wheel is the rim of the wheel. Just like the top circumference of a glass is the rim of the glass.
To summarize, the rim is only a part of the wheel. I am cranky since I sold my 2010 SS three years ago. However, I will be getting a new 2014 2SS RS manual in January. Hopefully this will improve my disposition, and I will be careful to take care of my wheels.

I think of shoes as just the tires. Agree with OP, though. Rims...lol...very 1995 term.

I must say that the last time I called them circles rims was on my board when I rode a Powell Peralta Skateboard in 1987. Now I call them Hwealz and my tires shoes.
