Does anybody know where I can order a pair of split rims larger than my 6" ones? Any/no hub will do, I can make that part up.
Do larger ones even exist in a split config? I don't want to even try mounting or dismounting little tires on a solid rim, I'm too much of an angry impatient guy to deal with that.
Ever use starting fluid and a Bic lighter to seat a tire on the bead? I have, and I should never be trusted to do it again.

8" and larger one piece rims are much easier to change manually than 6" and below IMO. I've fought and fought with 6" tires. Did the 25x12-9s for the back of my gator in about 2 hours total, and that included breaking the beads, removing the old tires, cleaning up the rims, mounting, and seating the new ones. And I didn't even need starting fluid. Just a ratchet strap and a locking air chuck.
