WHAT ARE SPLIT RIMS?
Split rim wheels are different from standard one-piece wheels. Put Simply, rather than being one-piece they are made in two or three parts which are then bolted together. They are usually very easy to identify since they have a series of small bolts around the rim of the wheel. Because of the multi-part construction, they are susceptible to corrosion more than regular alloy wheels. In some cases, the outer edge may be polished and the centre colour coated.
These types of wheels can take longer to repair or refurbish due to the time taken to split them down.
