why cant you change rims to another cars’ rims? this is what im wondering on FH2, like if i wanted a Locol Motors Rally Fighters’ rims on a Subaru BRAT, i can’t do that because there is no Car Manufacturer rims, in my head, im thinking there would be a 4th rim style called Car Manufacturer Rims, and every DLC with cars it updates with new DLC Rims that come with the car that you could put on your car like some Shelby rims on a Ford Raptor.
Licensing. There are various restrictions regarding what can be done with officially licensed cars and parts. One of those things is why we have unlabelled engine swaps.

well, the engine swaps in Horizon 1, were also labeled. so i find it pretty strange, that it isnt labeled in Horizon 2.
In fh1 they were from the same manufacturer as the car, now they are not.

I dont think so, they probobly did it so you know what the engine is, like if you go in engine swaps and see “Ferrari 458 Italia Engine” You dont know if its a v8, v10, v12, v16, v6, you dont know if its a 1.0 liter, 2.0 liter, 3.0 liter, 4.0 liter, 5.0 liter, 6.0 liter, 7.0 liter, 8.0 liter, 9.0 liter, 10.0 liter, Do you get what i mean, like a Ferrari 458 Italia Engine is not a Ferrari 458 Italia engine, its a something liter V8 with 500 or so horsepower
No. I know licensing is the reason. Its not just a guess.

We have never been able to do this in any Forza game that I recall. I haven’t bothered replacing rims yet in FH2. (I did it extensively in FH1 and FM4.) The selection seems much more limited than in previous games, but like I said, I haven’t paid it much attention to know for sure.
I remember in Forza 2 we could increase the size of each cars stock rims, would love that feature to return at some point. Can’t really see it being anything to do with licensing, so why was it never re-implemented?
I know a 458 engine. Its a 4.5 liter V8. Then again, its my favorite car.

For me, it’s not so much using stock rims from a car on another but I would like to be able to make the stock rims larger and change the color (so I could have black stock rims) just a thought Forza… 
I am 99.9% sure you can repaint the stock wheels in FM5 and FH2. However, I actually disliked having the option to increase the diameter of stock rims. FM1 did it automatically when you upgraded tires, regardless of the wheel design installed. Realistically, it is possible to widen the stock rims with a little (OK, a lot) of master-level cutting and welding or replacing the drum on a multi-piece rim. I know, it’s not real, it’s a game, but that’s my opinion.
