Sacha,

You asked:

are "wheel covers" what we used to call "hub caps"?

No. Hub caps are covers that only cover the lug nut area, these are usually found on panel delivery trucks and were also popular on low end cars of the 50's and 60's. Wheel covers are exactly as they are worded, they cover the entire wheel.

A rim is the round metal thing that holds the tyre.

I guess so.
