That's right, I'm always looking for Wide 5 style wheels when someone says they're changing rims. They have removable rim sections with the 5 spoke hub remaining in place, but, I'm sorry "Bro," they are wheels.
I guess with two piece or three piece bolt together wheels, you could technically just change your rims.
