Interesting I do not know that. Appreciate the info. Yeah same, growing up in Connecticut and the '90s that's basically what everyone called them, rims. Directly related to rap/urban culture. Makes sense though, it is the rim of the wheel.I'm about a decade older and have always considered just the outer portion of a wheel to be the "rim". Tires are tires, wheels are wheels and the whole package being tires mounted on wheels. One of few times I would ever make reference to the rim is "Oh no, he curbed his wheel and scratched up the rim (of the wheel)."
I first noticed the usage of "rims" as slang for wheels when listening to rap growing up in the late 80s into the 90s, but still thought it seemed grammatically incorrect (not sure if its etymology predates that or not).
It's similar to loading up your pistol "clip" (magazine) with "bullets" (ammo/cartridges/rounds), since the bullet is only one part of a loaded cartridge and not a singular thing until it's fired.
But, whatever floats your boat is cool with me ??
