A wheel consists of a hub, spokes and a rim.

The rim of a wheel is the outermost portion of the wheel that is contact with the tyre.

Some people, be it in real life or a game, refer to wheels as rims. The expression is technically incorrect of course, but is used as a colloquialism. It also makes people sound a bit thick, although insistence on technically correct phraseology make people seem a bit, to get back on the subject of rims, a bit anally retentive.
