Remember there are split Rims, and there are split rings.
If you have a ring or 3 around the edge of the rim to peel off, these are easy to inspect and as long as you do it right and careful they are safe. These use the shoulder of the tire to lock/press the rings tighter and tighter to keep everything locked together.
Split rims are only one style, they kind of come apart like an Oreo cookie, in the middle. You cant see what you are doing because the lock is in under the tire, and these are the dangerous ones. As well they only use the metal to lock together. Widowmaker.
So identify what you have.
Be really really careful if you have the actual split rim.
If you have a split ring style, just be careful and look for damage or rust. These can safely be worked on.
Many people dont know the difference.
If you have the actual split rims, you can often find military rims that fit the bolt pattern and are split ring, for not much money. Usually they have a good military tire on them so you get the whole package for $50-100. (Couple years ago, maybe that inflated too now?)
As well tubeless type rims are fairly easy to find for most bolt patterns, and then good used tires are piled up all over.
