thanks for going to the trouble to add your 2 cents . to me a good split rim is worth 29.95$ more than that if anybody has some.....

lots of construction equipment still uses multi piece rims and alot of that is in Iraq And Afganistan and its OD green. some desert tan

I read a few books on performance chassis tuning and max run out is 1/16th of an inch or .0625 / inch according to several sources. it ought to be much less than that but 63 thousandth is the max.

all of my rims are between 17 thousandths of an inch and 72 thousandths of an inch. most of that run out is caused by somewhat thick and uneven paint and the hi side of nicks cause by Gorilla warfare.

note that the pointer is measuring the ring itself but you must also measure the rim; the black part just above the ring , as well
