does anyone have any pics of their car fitted with 10" splitties showing the different types of arches. I have group 6 (sometimes called group 2 wide) and im wondering what it would look like. or are miglia arces the norm?

Split rims usually are in 3 pieces, the front, back and the center piece that holds everything together with bolts.

i have just refurbed my splits, how did you go about getting a air tight seal without the use of inner tubes ?

Thanks. They are specialist components split rims, they cost 2 arms and 1 leg.
When you sandwich the two rim pieces together apply a small amount of silicone to the mating faces. Then when its dried, run a bead of silicone over the join going right the way round the wheel.

And I use inner tubes so no sealant for me =)

Full set of wheels should be around 450 - 650£ depending on which wheels and from where you buy them. About that conversion, it's possible to convert few wheels in to split rims so that the center piece is used from the original wheel.
