My grandfather had a service station, and he broke his arm repairing a split rim in the late 60's.
And he still had the original splits on his 65 Chevy 3/4T. After his passing in '98, we pulled those off and modernized. He would run those tires until bald. He wanted the originals. A Great Depression survivor.
I tried once. Too dangerous.
