That's a good idea. Or I can also post here pic's of what the true widow maker split rims look like. The technical name for them is Firestone RH-5°. You can identify them by the fact that their two halfs connect at the middle of the rim. Looking at them with the tires still mounted you'll see on the back/concave side a raised band like area that's about two inches wide by a half inch tall. That's the joint. If you don't see this, then your wheels are the less dangerous "locking ring" style. They can be killers too if handled wrong during tire mounting, but are safe in operation. Here's links. Stu

• Widowmaker, Concave side
