Hi All

Does anyone know if Toyota 5 stud split rims are still coming on new vehicles?

Chasing some, got the last set, new, off a car for a carton.

I can hear it coming..........................., why do you want those...............etc etc.

Cheers

Lyndon

Hi Lyndon,

Not Split Rims, but they are from a 2021 79 Series Landcruiser Ute.

G'day Lyndon.
You must have a specific reason to want split rims. I had some on my HJ61 6 stud and when the tyres wore out Tubeless thereafter. Apart from changing the tyre while still ON the axle, I can't think of any advantage they have.

Toyota stopped used split rings far back as 2014 observed a newish V8 troopie near Halls creek in WA and that had one piece rims.

Also be aware that there is a difference between a split rim and a split ring tyre.

Most people call them split rim when in fact they are not. Its the ring that is removed on the older toyota rims. a dangerous thing to work on unless you know what your doing -and inflating was always done inside a wire cage just in case.

G'day Dean.
I used the same words, split rims, too. Although, as you pointed out, it is the ring which is split. Unless the ring and rim groove are impeccably maintained they are dangerous AND because they use a tube they deflate plenty quick, far quicker than a tubeless tyre if punctured. Balloons deflate fast too.

I think the v8 was the end of split ring rims, and a guess would be speed rating of tyre.
Many moons ago i carried a spare tube under the rear seat and a tyre no rim as a second spare. Used both in Tibbuburra after a thorn went through the sidewall.
Replaced by finnileak and tubeless repair kits, alot safer tubeless are, but harder to work on.
With 70's, a 105 rv tubeless 16x6.5 rim has the correct offset to help with track.

I still carry a tube as a failsafe. Stopped carrying a tyre when I realized I could no longer break both beads

If you have some tyre pliers you can break any bead , both sides quite easily. Not hard! Years ago, I made a folding device which had a triangle base and an upright section which bolted to it, 2 x 6mm bolts and a levering arm which had a curved swinging section to apply to the tyre bead. Adjustable for different w=rim widths. Pushed them off ok. I do take a trye and the gear to change them if needed.

The tyre shop struggles to break my rear bead. I made myself a breaker and it cant either. Fronts OK but not the rear. At least I can still use a tube

I made a bead-breaker in the form of a 100mm wide blunt 'blade' that attached to the base of my hydraulic or hi-lift jack and placed under the vehicle tow bar pressed down on the wheel laying on the ground. Worked like a charm with almost zero effort and was no larger than the palm of my hand.
Should have patented it!

I have a set of 5 off a Troopy.
Problem is I'm in Newcastle.
If you look at my Profile picture, you'll see a photo of the vehicle with the rims on it.
They have been in the garage for at least 15 years and are in as new condition.
