Curti Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 How does a rim differ from a wheel?Technically there is a hub and a rim. Welded together ( or spokes) makes a wheel. I am sure French Lake Auto Parts in Minnesota will have the 'rims' you need. They have 12,000 cars before 1980 (320-286-2560) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cocuzza Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 T & C's may have a 6" wide rim (wheel) with the 8 cylinder engine. My T & C Sedan has the larger rims (wheels) because, even though my car is a 6 cylinder model, it has 8 cylinder suspension. Also, the later 47's into 48 used larger tires and the rear fender openings were made larger to accommodate the larger tires. So there could be a difference in the wheels.Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Technically there is a hub and a rim. Welded together ( or spokes) makes a wheel. Actually, a rim and a center welded together make a wheel. The hub is the part that rotates on the axle that contains the bearings.The trend of calling wheels "rims" is, admittedly, a silly pet peeve of mine. On a motorcycle board, someone was looking for "rim hoops". I finally determined, since he called wheels "rims", that he had to invent a name for the actual rims. To him, a motorcycle "rim" consists of a hub (on a bike, it is the hub), spokes and a rim hoop. I should just let it go, but it bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
