I know what can happen when they are not correctly assembled or mismatching rings are used etc. I also know what can happen when you reverse polarity when trying to jump batteries. I challenge anyone to come up with any documentation that the 2 piece "lock ring" wheel was ever safety recalled.

So my 67-72 lock ring wheels are safer to use than typical split rims? When I'm adding air, do I need to chain them while on the truck, or anything special?
Thanks!
