Split rims can be very dangerous if not handled properly. I saw a guy get killed and his friend lost an arm before my dad could get out of his shop to stop them. I worked in a tire shop when I was going to JC. I was the only one the boss would let do splits. I thought it was an honor maybe he just didn't like me. I ran 16" split rims on my '53 when it was the ranch truck. They look great on a work truck.
