So, just cause, I tore apart one wheel this afternoon. Took me quie awhile to get the beads broke off the rim, but I got it handled!
There are actually chunks broke out of the locking section of both rims.........................
That really alarmed me! While it was a PITA to the them apart, I honestly don't see how this particular rim would have held up for much longer, if at all (it was a deflated spare).
After reading through all the previous comments, and doing a bit of online research, I've began to ponder something. Is there any reason I couldn't weld these rims solid? I believe DeltaRed mentioned it in the last post too?
I feel like I could break them down, get tires off, clean the wheels, put the halves back together, get them as square as I could, and lay a nice heavy bead on around the locking edge? My neighbor is a profound welder, and I know he would tackle it in a heart beat, but I am wondering about safety?
I would still run a tube, but I don't see that being an issue? I should be able to pry a tire over a rim WITH a tube and liner without issues, right?
I can buy one piece 20" wheels online new for about $110 a wheel, which I don't think is out of line, but we are talking about a $1000 truck that is going to be used 10 times a year!
What do you guys think? I feel like tomorrow I might try it with one wheel and just see what happens?

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
