[VAC] Re: Replacement Rims



I looked up the wheel specifications for our 66 Safaris in the owner's
manual.  It says they are 15" Drop Center.  Is that the same as split rims?
In any event I had tires replaced two years ago in Oregon and nobody at Les
Schwaab's made a peep about split rims.  Are we sure that split rims are
what we have?  If so, does it pose the same dangers as 60 Minutes outlined
several years ago.
