- All right, hey guys what's going on?
It's Alex from Fitment Industries
and when it comes down to pronouncing things in the world,
it's often a war zone.
Oh by the way, don't forget to subscribe
and hit the bell button
because we like the number that it gives us
even though YouTube is changing it
because their meany pants
and they don't like to keep anything constant.
Names and definitions and verbiage
and diction and all of that stuff,
I get it, we've been there.
If you were a kid once you probably got into the argument
of Varock versus Verock.
Adi or Audi,
Ope versus Opeee.
There's been more times that we've come across
these kinds of arguments in our own comments
and one of the most common ones of course on all the forums,
on all the webpages on all the club pages,
all the forums, all of the forums, forums, forums
is hey guys, is it a wheel or it it a rim?
So now before we go into World War three,
we're going to preface it by saying that
it's not actually that big of a deal.
I know that we think it is
and that's okay.
If we're justifying our times at night arguing
about how to pronounce something
I think that our lives are pretty good.
People that aren't extremely active in the car community
or more specifically the wheel community,
will just almost always call a wheel a rim.
It's just how the cookie crumbles.
- No God please no. No, no.
- The argument sits at well,
a rim is a wheel without the tire
and while it has a pretty valid claim
it's just not entirely the way that the world works.
It's just not entirely true because the rim is a section
of the wheel that is usually the outermost
facing part of the assembly.
Rims on multi piece wheels for instance
are more commonly referred to as lips than rims.
For those with a one piece design wheel for instance though,
some people feel as if it has to be a rim
because it's all one completed
melted piece of aluminum alloy,
but unfortunately that's not the case either
and to be honest,
rim is the colloquial
- [Narrator] Wait hold up.
Colloquial, it's an adjective.
- [Narrator 2] Used in our characteristic
of familiar and informal conversation.
- Term for wheels to individuals
that don't dive too deep into the whole wheel thing
and it's okay.
Nobody should be getting real mad about that,
but that's not the only terminology
that people have a tendency to sometimes
flippy flop with some other words.
A perfect example would be the hardware
on multi piece wheels are often referred to
by lots of people as rivets.
That'll get all sorts of old school wheel guys real antsy.
A little feisty.
Rivets are permanent like mechanical fasteners.
The hardware that you talk about in multi piece wheels
can actually be removed and reinstalled
at any time with the right knowledge.
That's a pretty common difference
and then even though you go into wheels
that have the simulated hardware,
people would say that it's a rivet,
but since most of them can be taken out
and replaced with different color stuff,
that technically really isn't a rivet either
because especially if it's made from plastic
it's definitely not a rivet.
The same could be said for the inner lip
of a multi piece wheel which is usually
more commonly referred to as the barrel.
The barrel of the inner section
that sits behind the face of the wheel.
Now this is where all of that stuff comes into play
because the terminology is more commonly used
with multi piece wheels versus one piece forged
or one piece cast.
Not only with wheels,
but there's common misconceptions
that moved over from the tire talk of the world
and if you want more traction,
you would get beefier tires, right?
Negativo Ghost Rider.
The pattern is full, don't do it Mav.
Based on good 'ol math,
having too wide of a tire will often result
in a more negative experience than positive,
even if it now looks like you have a fast car.
Lots of individuals that have a belief
that width is the sole determinate for traction,
but it's actually not just that.
It's quality and traction pathing that matters
a whole lot more and there's a whole bunch of math
that you can do out in the world that can determine
how wide of a tire do you actually need for a certain wheel
and then of course a certain platform and horsepower
that you're looking to achieve.
You'll find plenty of people actually opting
for a smaller tire size versus it's wider option counterpart
simply due to responsiveness
and reduction in side wall rolling,
which can result in actually better track times,
faster reaction times and all sorts of other good stuff
that results in making you a better driver.
You just don't get to brag about
the big section width number that you have,
but it's not just terminology
that gets people all up in arms.
Sometimes it's just the mere mention of things.
Things
like camber.
Dun, dun dun.
Talk to somebody that isn't on "the gram"
or doesn't follow the good 'ol trends
and the moment you mention camber the
(raspberry noise)
they'll come out swinging with every reason
as to why you're a dumb (beep)
and that you should start your car on fire.
- Wait a minute, who are you?
- One of the biggest arguments on this point
is usually traction issues, wear and looks.
Now if you take some of the whole opinion out of it,
a lot of people will always argue the tire wear
and the traction issues,
however if we're talking about a minimal camber,
which is right around three degrees mark,
which is actually set up more for track usage,
it's pretty normal on functioning street cars.
In addition to wear,
it's actually more common for toe to destroy your tire tread
than it is for minimal camber on either side of the fence.
I know and I don't have camber.
I'm not defending it, okay?
(bass music)
Just I'm a bridge of information, okay?
That's all I am.
And there's a lot of other stuff out there
that a lot of people have a tendency
to get into a fight over.
What would you say is the most common thing
that you've gotten in a fight over when it comes to diction?
