Re: split rims

My dad used to drive with a guy who delivered oil in the 70s, said they where driving down the road and one of the rims let go and it went through the rear passenger door of a sedan in the passing lane, fortunately nobody was in that seat. I would just run some steel wheels if it where me, I really don't even think they add much to the restoration, and you would feel bad if somebody else got hurt because of your efforts. Last I checked they where illegal in the us for use on commercial vehicles anyway. I have 16.5 inch steel wheels on my truck and there are plenty of tire options for them. Just my 2 cents.
