Actually, they are Snap Ring rims not split rims. Split rims are a two part wheel that "hook together in the middle. We have local truck tire shops that will mount and unmount snap ring rims for $15 to $18 depending on which shop. If you tell them you have split rims they will usually refuse to work on them unless they see the rim. Snap ring rims are not a problem except at auto tire facilities. Offset and drop center aspects of any tubless type rim are important considerations as the brake drum has a lip that fills the 16" diameter of the stock wheel. BOB
