Has anyone else wondered this? Is there some secret commission on wheel type names? Waffles, Wagon Wheels, 10 holes, turbines, ponies? I get that some are probably obvious (10 holes), but has anyone else wondered this? The moment a car is released there's new weird names for wheels. Are they named by the manufacturer in the original sales brochures?
