Split rims are one of those relics from the past that really don't have any value to modern drivers. Kind of like a hand crank coming out below the grill.
Cmon, I want the hand crank back so I dont have to carry around that pesky starter and battery!
Back to the rims...When I was in the army all the wheels were giant split rims and we had some dumb 18 year olds working on them that are lucky to be alive.(Myself included)
