Is it door jams, jabs, or jambs???

Isn't the term 'Rims' from around the 60's era? There were the original hubcaps which mounted to the center of the wheel. Then either car manufacturers or after market companies came out with a chrome piece that mounted to the rim of the wheel.
I know some of the early custom wheels were called Rims. So, I'm not sure about all of this. We need some help from an old time 'car guy'.
That may be true!!!

I used to call it that since that's what my dad called them. Though, he wasn't nearly old enough to be into cars in the 60's!

Nope...I've never had any "Rims". Ever!
{But all of my wheels had a rim. A lip, as it were. :)}

Must have had a sheltered life...
Or didn't get all jambed-up:
time and time again.
