I've got odd ball aftermarket steel wheels on my 60 from the previous owner, and want to go to steelies. My main use is long distance overland stuff, vacations, etc. What benefit do split rims provide? I used to have a Power Wagon that had splits on it, and it was hard finding anyone to work with them - horror stories of how dangerous they are, etc., and although it's easy to patch a tube it seems to me easier still to plug a hole with a patch kit in a regular time.
I also want to stick with 16" wheel, so I guess I'm looking at aftermarket OEM style wheels, a'la Stockton?
Any need or benefit to go with split rims since I'm starting from ground zero? I want to do it once, the right way.
