tire rack is a scam site all their wheels are fake chinese crap

Craigslist, because I only tend to like OEM Subaru wheels, and WRX owners seem to almost always immediately get rid of their stock wheels for volk te37s

conflicting opinions, why?

Idiocy. Tire Rack is not a scam site.
>>
>>13904676

Never bought wheels from them, but I've purchased tires many times and they are genuine.
>>
>>13904759
>>13904700
Okay, that helps allot, because their prices are pretty good

Direct from the manufacturer..

tire rack is god tier, but keep in mind all their prices exclude

>cost to mount/balance tires on wheels
>>
>>13904676
They are a reputable purveyor of tires and wheels. Have ordered tires dozens of times from them and 2 sets of wheels. Easy as pie.

Alright, I've had enough of this shit and it's time to clear some of this bullshit up for you twats.

tire + rim = wheel

wheel - tire = rim

wheel - rim = tire

rim = what tires are mounted on
wheel = combination of rim and tire
>>
>>13904893

I wonder how you function in real life with this amount of retardation
>>
>>13904893
A wheel is a wheel, a tire is a tire. Put them together and you have the "wheel and tire assembly". The rim is just the outer edge of the wheel.
>>
>>13904919
You're joking right?

You mount tires on rims not wheels.

It seems you're talking about split rims/multi-piece wheels, not single piece wheels like on passenger cars.

tire rack is a scam, none of the tires they sell are real

Nope. Everything from the hub to the lip which the tire mounts on is considered the rim. Rim and tire together, that is a wheel.

As far as the DOT is concerned.

Everything in that picture is the rim

I'm not a "Trucker", I just drive trucks. And it's the same thing with car wheels. We aren't talking about bicycles here. That is another story.
