This thread just provided my amusement for the day!

 

When I was a kid, people called 'em all hubcaps. Only car dealers and parts departments called them wheel covers.

Ever hear of anyone "stealing wheel covers"?

 

I once read a story about some guy stealing hubcaps,
maybe they were wheel covers

 

This always gets me too, I see threads with a title that asks for help to identify these rims, and then in their first post they say "I picked these WHEELS up at a swap meet"...


Maybe wheelkid should change his name to rimkid...


Funny stuff, keep it coming.

 

It's time to get over the whole Wheels versus Rims thing - they have become synonymous when talking about the round metal things that the tires mount to.

By definition a rim is; The circular outer part of a wheel, furthest from the axle. And since many wheels now days are one piece, the "Rim" portion of the Wheel does not come apart so how do you distinguish the Rim from the Wheel?

Even wheels companies use the word Rim when describing a new product.

It's kind of like the whole Engine / Motor debate.

 

Exactly. Lots of people stole hubcaps (even when they were large), but nobody ever stole "wheel covers".

 

If he changes his name to rimkid I aint goin' drinking with him.

How come a tooth brush isn't called a teeth brush?

if it is a pear how come there is only one?

So Don if the outer section of the wheel where the tire is mounted is called a rim then wouldn't mounting tires be called rimming?

Actually is has nothing to do with the rest of the thread but the proper mid town terminology for wheels around here is Wheelrin. So now that we have that settled what is a rin?

 

Beeno, you are indeed a funny guy.

A rin is an obsolete unit of Japanese currency equal to 1⁄1000 yen. Fell out of use after WWII. Not sure how that relates to current subject matter, or where exactly one would place a rin in conjunction with a wheel, rim, tire, hubcap or wheel cover. Maybe it's an overabundance of rins that causes wheel covers to separate from the wheels they're supposed to be covering.

Actually, the generally accepted concept of light and how it works is backwards. Light doesn't emanate from a source; rather, darkness is being absorbed. Technically, darkness is coming in the window all the time.

And if the plural of mouse isn't mouses but mice, why is the plural of house houses and not hice?

 

I'll leave the Rimming to the girls to perform

 

If it's a cap, should you wear it on your head?

Did trucks get full wheel covers or no?
