There were several types of split rim wheels. Chevy had one from the late 50's to mid 60's that my dad called man-killers, they were 2 piece but went together almost in the center. He said if you ever ran them flat they would wear and not hold as well. My 65 C-80 has a 3 piece wheel, the main part, the ring and a smaller locking ring, they're much safer.

Wasn't in love with either. Damn center ring always got bent up on the 3 piece.

I liked to play it safe. When having trouble inflating a floater front truck tire I'd go with a can of starting fluid, spray liberally into the tire, throw a Safety Match at it, then when you heard the explosion, you immediately hit the stem with air. It's just that easy......:winner Always remember to be safe and close the cover on the matchbook.
