rim= the rear hoop of a wheel, the outer aluminum ring.
wheel= the collective build of a rim, hub, and spokes.
tire= the rubber part that mounts on the outside of the wheel.
guy: "hi, i wanted to see what the price of a rear rim would be."
me: "just the rim, or the whole wheel?"
guy: "uh, i guess the whole thing."
me: "ok, what kind of bike do you have?"
guy: "uhhhh. . . ."
me: "is it a road bike, mountain bike, hybrid?"
guy: "well, its wider than your average tire. like if you cut it in half, see, it would be like 2 feet.""
me: "uhhh. . . .tires are measured by width, in millimeters. not by diameter. if its a road bike, there are 2 diameters of wheels, one is called 700c, and the other is 27 inches. you can tell by reading whats on the side of the tire. the price differs between them, as well as you choices of options."
(somewhere in there, the dude hung up. he probably resorted to yelp to write a bad review. fuck.)
