Your wealth of knowledge is easily overrun by your insistance on correcting every percieved error that anyone happens to post. I could really care less because 99% of the people that I know would describe those rims as "split rims" regardless of whatever the manufacturer described them as 70 years ago, or you do today. I don't need your lectures. I fully understand the dangers they pose, a very talented, salt-of the-earth type of guy I used to know had his head torn off by one of those rings about 10 years ago.

While some guy who doesn't know better changing a tire on a Lock Ring Rim may not be a big deal but the same guy changing a tire on a true split rim it could also be his last tire change for life , joining the guys we already have known killed by these rims . There is still plenty of homemade farm trailers out there with these type of rims on them and if one guy sees that and says I wonder if those are the killer rims he just may live to see another day .
