Blah, blah, blah................
You never hear: Who invented the rim?
I just wince when I hear: Fuch. It's Fuchs, pronounced Fooks!
Fuchs is always Fuchs, no matter if it's single, or plural.
1 Fuchs wheel, 2 Fuchs wheels and so on. (Count up to 825, just like they did in: "Raising Arizona".

For all of you who need to explore useless info, there is a long study by the UN on the "Manufacturing of bean poles in Denmark" or:
"How many raisins can you stuff up your nose"? by Ira Miller.

"Fuchs" is German for "Fox." What's plural of "fox" . .. is it "fox"? -hint-hint. ;)

I can't remember since when I start to have my headache today. Now my eyes are sore

Singular Fuchs
Plural Füchse
(And for the real nit-pickers: A very small Fuchs is Füchschen)

That only applies when you are talking about the actual animal.

When Fuchs is used as a company name, it stays singular even though what follows is plural. Example:
1 Fuchs wheel,
2 Fuchs wheels.
If you were to order wheels from the Fuchs factory, you cannot order four Füchse wheels; it's four Fuchs wheels.

Same as in: One Ford car, two Ford cars.

That said, it's a good thing that these wheels have a name like Fuchs instead of "Schickelgruber". :confused:
For sale: Four 16x7 polished Schickelgruber wheels. :D

What ever happened to Roland Kunz?

Geeez Mark...Look what you've started with this thread...

Two Ford's and three Chevy's . .. ?

Yeah, that's just wrong . .. on some level. ;)

From the dictionary:
Three usages:
rim (rĭm)
n.
1. The usually curved or circular border or edge of an object. See synonyms at border.
2. The circular outer part of a wheel, furthest from the axle.
3. A circular metal structure ( would that be a "wheel"?) around which a wheel tire ( a wheel tire - quaint, no?) is fitted.

rims, wheels, whatever......its all good, no?

Agreed, people who are bothered by someones pronunciation of words need to get a life. Anyone know where to get my foosh rims hooked up with the pimped polish job :p

hmm....

"Nice Wheels" Could represent the whole car...dig it?

Rims are aftermarket bling where wheels seem to point more towards factory stock items. For example, Fuchs = Wheel and Dubbs = Rim. That is, unless... you buy a pre-riced Scion which technically comes with rims which kinda blows my theory out the window.

I'm new to this thread but I asked exactly the same question in a local enthusiast group forum (populated by many half my age).
The first time I heard a wheel called a rim was in relation to the emergence of large diameter bling on a Bentley a few years back, one owned by a famous and wealthy NBA star.

{soapbox}
I personally, perhaps due to my age, despise bling, and rice, and the description of wheels as rims, and all the other current hip-hop-isms and the general 'look at me' attitude in current American society. Yes, I drive a 911, but I couldn't give a squat who might be 'looking at me'. I drive it because of how I feel driving it, of how I can't lock it and walk away from it without looking back at it, because of its raw,visceral nature,because it's built like a tank. Hell, it's a 23 year old car and people think it's extravagant, I try to explain you can't get a loaded new Civic for what I paid for it, and they don't get it.

Fo shizzle

I can't believe this thread still lives.

Curse you Mark.

I think not. :D
