Yes, although it isn't always silver (color). The tire goes on the rim, the rim bolts on the axle flange, usually four or five studs and the nuts hold the rim on.

The tire is fitted to the rim, also referred to as the wheel, and the rim (or wheel) is attached to the car using lug nuts or in some cases lug bolts.
