I gave my two-piece wheels to the local scrap yard. In my state it's mandatory that any two-piece wheel be serviced in a cage. My wheels weren't split-rims in the strictest sense, but had the main wheel body with a closed ring with notches made into them that fit over the retainer part of the wheel. Kinda hard to explain, but the ring was continuous, it didn't have a "cut" across it like the 18 wheelers do.

Agreed, these are hub centered wheels, I ended up getting another set of solid wheels, installed 9/16 lugs, and a set of lug nuts with captured washers.

Bpawb, good looking truck, what are your plans for it?
