Ok maybe its cause I'm getting older, but this is really annoying me. I been at work most of the day today and there has been alot of time between calls. So I have spent the day reading post on SL. And this is driving me crazy, how everyone keeps referring to the Custom Wheels on the cars as rims. Rims are a part of the wheel not the wheel it self. If some one want to be a tuner shouldn't you know the proper name of what is being installed on your car.

which leads me to another thing rant . Wheels and tirs are a major part of the cars suspension .. so why do eople keep posting on the exterior section.


ok i'm done.... for now..

 

Cuz technically they are on the exterior of the car. I guess you could post them in both areas though. But I completely feel you on that one man. I guess its just one of those things you gotta get over. Like turbo = boost. Boost is what you get, not what it is. But people wanna be cool and call it that anyway.

 

From the American Heritage Dictionary

slang

noun.

1. A kind of language occurring chiefly in casual and playful speech, made up typically of short-lived coinages and figures of speech that are deliberately used in place of standard terms for added raciness, humor, irreverence, or other effect.

2. Language peculiar to a group; argot or jargon.

 

Wheels don't belong in the exterior section... or the suspension section. They belong in the wheel/tire section.

 

Ack 154, you're right. And so do RIMS, haha

 

i want rims.
