fins


Explanation:
It really depends on context but I think they can just be called "fins". As in, "That car is on 16 inch fins".

neutral  chris collister: It depends how old the car in question is - modern cars invariably have a pair of discs on the front, and, if they have rear drums at all (as opposed to discs), they tend to be plain and unfinned.
