    Language is wonderful when you know how to use it. Rims are rims, tires are tires and both together are wheels.

    I’ll give you scuffs; you certainly understand what a scuff is though.

    Easy easy, lemon squeezy.

      I mean if you want to be pedantic then;

      Wheel: “a circular object connected at the centre to a bar, used for making vehicles or parts of machines move”

      So a rim or alloy can and is a wheel with or without a tyre ;)
