I thought years ago nascar outlawed chrome rims. Because the cracks were hard to find after a crash. Are they magna fluxed or dye checked or are they stainless steel? The 55 and 00 have them on there car. Thank you Madhadder3

10-4, it is poweder coating. The 47 also has the chrome look. All the Penske and Red Bull cars are powdercoated to match their paint schemes.

Sorry, 'BigMan'.........
Wheels are wheels and tires are tires. Together they are a tire and wheel assembly.......

No one is ever more wrong than when telling someone else THEY are wrong.........incorrectly.

Maybe bicycles have rims, I have no idea.

But cars have wheels.

Actually they are pretty much the exact same thing, and they are interchangeable in this case.

Wheel = a circular frame of hard material that may be solid, partly solid, or spoked and that is capable of turning on an axle

Rim = the outer part of a wheel joined to the hub usually by spokes ; a removable outer metal band on an automobile wheel to which the tire is attached

Definitions are from Merriam-Webster.
