Not sure if you're being condescending or not, but I'll answer the question anyway. This is just one of those little peeves of mine, and I apologize for pointing it out. I used to sell automotive wheels and tires, so I suppose that's where it comes from. In the first picture of my MM, the whole yellow thing inside the tire is a wheel. The silver part in the second picture is a rim. A coffee cup has a rim, but we call it a coffee cup, A wheel has a rim, where you would attach a weight when balancing, but the whole thing is a wheel.
