What is the definition of after market tires and rims?

Aftermarket tires and rims: Tires and rims that are not the original equipment (OE) tires and rims that came with the vehicle. When a company produces a new vehicle for the market, it will specify and supply a certain type of tire and rim for that vehicle. But the vehicle owner can choose to replace tires and rims, with some restrictions, once they have purchased the vehicle. OE refers to the specific model of tire and rim that came on the vehicle from the factory. Aftermarket tires and rims include all other tires and rims that the vehicle owner might purchase and install on their vehicle after the vehicle has been made, replacing the original tires and rims.
