Split rims are scary and dangerous. Much as I dislike mainstream media and the tales they tell. 60 Minutes did a story 40 years ago about a young man who was working a split rim for a truck, and it blew to pieces while he was in front of it. Nearly killed him and left him slightly more than a vegetable.


Were it mine, I'd change it out for a one-piece rim if possible. Were I stuck with it, I'd absolutely get a tire cage, or hire it out to someone who has one.


It's a hobby - $#!t ain't worth dyin' over.
