Rims - made of lighter weight alloy, and the out side is made to be finished looking. Thus it is one piece, and has no cover (other then the lug nut caps some have).
Hub Caps - They basically cover up the black, ugly, and heavy steel rims you might see when some looses their hub cap. If you have an RS just take pff your hub cap and you will see your nice black steel rim.
Rims are far superior in every area but durability. Some of the extremely light wieght ones will dent and warp if you hit harsh bumps on the street. However, most can take the same abuse as steel rims.
As for cheap places to buy...if you find any, let me know about them. lol...
