Split Rims
They're called "Widow Makers" with very good reason ~ you needn't have any rust on them to have them fail explosively .
There's no way to know when / if they're going to fail and many have died from both the ring cutting their heads off to trucks rolling over at speed when they fail . Many smoke PCP for years and think it's safe, others are smarter .

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
The two piece rim in the center is a widow maker. Mine are the one to the right of it
