i thought it was because on older vehicles where the hub assembly poked through the wheel...like on older, say ford trucks...the center is actually part of the hub assembly, so when you looked at the center mounting section which contained part of the diff., then you had the outer pull off section, which was the rim of the wheel....and then people got lazy and just called it the rim.

i remember when it was amazing to see an "import" (i.e. anything with a non V8) at the track, and when there was, it was almost always fast...at least in the 13s...now..ugh...in my class back home, i bet half of the compacts there run in the high 16s or slower....but they all have at least the cars cost worth of things that dont add any speed...

that movie came out in 2001, if youre 19 now, you were 15 when that came out, so you were working on cars prior to being old enough to drive in most states?
