P15-D24 Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 First, the are NOT split rim wheels but rather lock ring rims. Any decent truck tire shop can service them. Stockton wheel makes a safety rim replacement, but they are pricey. The 16" 6 lug is correct rim for that truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they need to be replaced, and I thought it would be easier to replace the lock rings with a standard wheels. I will try to post a photo of the truck.

Dodgeb4ya Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 There is Nothing wrong with the factory rims as long as the side rings or rims are not bent or damaged in any way... or excessively rusty. Then finding a "real tire wheel guy" who will service those wheels. They are totally a good and safe wheel if in good condition and services by a competent person. I do my own. Simple to do but must be chained up/ or done in a tire cage. They are also IMO a great looking six hand hole wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
