A rim is an outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire. A circular strip of metal forms the connection between the wheels and tyres, either permanently or removable. It makes up the outer circular strip of metal design on which the inside edges of the tyre is mounted. The terms 'wheel' and 'rim' are often used synonymously, as in decorative wheels being called rims.
