I've never heard feet, I have heard "shoes" though. They tell me they've got some new shoes and I go to look at their feet.

 

I think the "feet" are the ri.... wheels lol and the "shoes" are the tires

 

Oh OK that makes sense... forgive the white guy in me. It's just not cool enough to keep up with all these awesome word-inventing people these days.

 

They are wheels.

 

I know! I end up hearing theese new words on the radio in fast food places and stuff like that. I fell like my vocab is shrinking and im becomming dumb. Websters needs to speed it up with the updates lol

 

or when they get new tires for the car,

"yo dawg i just got some new "shoes" for dem dub dueces"

get a clue and learn proper english

 

Alright, I'm calling it now.

By 08, spokes will be called toes.

 

Call me black or incorrect, but in my theory: Wheel = the entire thing. My wheel fell off, rim and tire. Rim is the "wheel", and tire is the tire. The tire goes around the rim to make it a wheel. In any case, atleast *I* always know what I'm talking about.

 

Wheels=proper term.
Rims=slang

I use wheels. And correct peopl that say rims.

 

The English language is ever changing and evolving. So, you're technically right, but for all practical purposes both of you are right. If you say rim or wheel when speaking in ref to a car, and everybody understands what you are talking about, then who is right?

Webster has to change/add words as the language evolves, not the other way around.

 

tell that to centerline wheels, and all the other wheel companies out there

http://www.centerlinewheels.com/

in fact, i dare you to find me one wheel manufacturer that calls itself a "rim manufacturer"

 

THEN WHAT THE HELL DO YOU CALL THE RIM?????

 

Anyone else call after market wheels mags or just me?

 

that's what old people call them

refers to the old magnesium halibrand and whatnot wheels. back in the 60s, they didn't have forged aluminum or anything

 

Thats what my Dad calls them and that what I call them
