Re: split rims

Can't pass up the chance to tell this lil story (again).

I bought my K20 in 1977 with split rims and a new set of 7.50-16(D) highway tires. What the..... on a 4x4? I drove it straight to a tire shop to trade for Armstrong Rhino mud & snows. One wheel just would not balance. The guy finally gave up and removed the tire, only to find the brand-new liner still folded up inside the tire.

He put it back together, finished the job, thanked me for my business and asked me to please not come back as long as I had those wheels.
