I am thinking I got those Split rims like the picture of the whit rim. They look like a one piece rim. The large 6 bolt pattern through me off.

that is NOT a split rim a true split rim the rim is cut or split where the valve stem is and will fold over its self with a ring to hold tire on them will kill you in a hart beat . your rim is just a ring rim one rings or two peace they are not bad at all IF you know what your doing with out seeing the other side have no idea what rings you have.that rim is more then likley junk lots of rust but can't see other side other side is side you got to work on

Hard to tell what you have from just one side. They look old rusty puckered that might be an issue?

You don’t want the two piece split rim circled in red. No way to see if you have them assembled right.

All the other designs are good split rings, they use the tire and pressure to seal themselves and you can see they are right before you air them up.

There is also an old setup where the rim is split across the rim by the valve stem, hardly see those any more.

They have a ring on the back side if you flip it around. Break the bead down then pry ring off then break down non ring side. Will probably be a tough go on it. Could also due to the lack of decent used tires go to 22.5 tires and be much easier to find tires. Will be a bit taller maybe an inch or two. 275 -22.5's would be about the same as a 10.00-20 one size bigger.

Forgot to mention putting one favorite squirrel p on the beads will help with soaking them loose from the steel. Then soak some more. They will be stuck pretty good if they have been on as long as they look. Do both sides.
