Why do people use the word "rim"? In the context used, people are referring to wheels. Look up the word rim in the dictionary. It's something akin to an edge. Don't refer to 18 inch rims, 10 inches wide. Refer to 18 inch wheels with 10 inch rims.

YOU DONT HAVE RIMS ON YOUR CAR, YOU HAVE WHEELS.

The combination of rim+tire=Wheels.. its kind of a unspoken rule!

Are these TT D's, TT II's, or TTO?

They all look similar on American Racing's website.

Anyone know the wheel and tire size on these, very nice setup. Backspacing too?

Rears actually look like 20s in this pic.
