Wheel studs/lug nuts.

The tire is held in place from the air pressure expanding and pressing the edge onto the rim, and nothing but friction holds it. ( if you meant the rubber not the wheel.)
The rim is what holds the tire to the car it has the lug nut hole, if you mean chrome ring, it woulkd work the same.
The center of a tire is called the rim, its what holds the air inside and the car standing ;D
A tire is mounted on a rim.

Depends on the car. Usually, they are right on the bracket that holds the alternator in place.
Any rim that is not a stock rim for that model of car.
If it is severely bent the side wall in that area may be damaged, but if it is just a curb hit, the tire should be fine mounted on another rim. If it is a steel rim, the tire can be taken off and the lip of the rim bent back into place and used.
The lug nuts are glued to the rim prior to the race using a rubber cement type material. The material holds the the nut in place as the tire is installed but is weak enough to "break" as the nut is spun on.
When the nuts are tightened pressure between the nut's cone and the conical holes in the wheel rim creates a "frictional lock" that prevents the nuts from coming loose.
