I think that a WHEEL is what bolts to your car.
The RIM is the part of the WHEEL that the bead of the tire seats on.
Your old bicycle has a hub, spokes and a seprate RIM that holds the tire.
Your IROC has one piece WHEELS.
I do like the new WHEELS you picked out.
( sorry, pet peeve of mine... )
Rant over.....
I work at the largest wheel manufacturing plant in the world and would love to enlighten you on wheels/rims and their components, but won't. I will say this you are only partially right. It depends on the type of manufacture as to what part of a wheel is called what. ( sorry, pet peeve of mine... )  "thumbs up
