RE: [VAL] baby moon



If you have new tires, you most likely have newer wheels, as only truck
and farm implement dealers will touch a split rim wheel nowadays. Here
is a split-rim:

You can barely see the ring near the outside of the wheel diameter.

Another way to tell is the hub caps had spring clips that mounted inside
the hub opening - newer hub caps catch over 3 tangs on the wheel hub
opening.

Best of luck,
