Mechanics 58, I also decieded to do some more research on Google. WOW! You can get more info. than you can absorb. One post with photos, shows some different RH rims. The RH-5 was supposedly to be a heavy duty improvement over the others.`
It also says that THE SPLIT RIM is one that is split across the rim width, from bead to bead---not split around the circumference like the Firestone RH-5*. Like we said, all are dangerous and should be done by a pro. I even found a site warning about mixing lock rings, said to put them back on the wheel they came off of. Since I cannot afford buying 2 sets of tires & wheels,think I m gonna go with mine.
