Re: Split rims worth $$ ?
Quote:
If the lock ring is clean, and the groove it seats in is clean (or the bead is clean), and the lock ring is properly seated, these wheels are no better or worse than others. It takes a few minutes more, and you need to pay attention, but that seems to be all it takes. The plus side is you can do these yourself, if you have the tools (which are 2 types of pry bars basically) you could dismount, fix, remount/inflate and be on your way if broken down by the side of the road... and if you have a compressor and some arm strength that is.

Somewhere in my stuff I have a listing of all the different wheel sizes. Quite the variation for some. I think it would be funny to see a 15" set on a 1500 sitting next to 17" on a 1000 series.

Re: Split rims worth $$ ?
My 62 came with 15" 3 piece wheels. Most shops won't touch them, so I change the tires myself. Then I know they are done right.
Spare got lost over the years, had to settle for a standard style 15 for that purpose. |

Original lock ring wheels just look right, IMHO.
