the mayfare sport/sport spechial 10's and super slots are the only one that can be done i think. but if you take pics of the wheels you want doing carl can tell you wether they can or cant. 100+ slotmags cant :(

i cant tell if they are 3 piece but split rims can leak like a bitch*happy* if using split rims again i would use inner tubes (although i thought your not meant to in modern tires)

Try any of the autograss tyre suppliers, as all the class 1 autograss boys use tubes, and a lot use 10" wheels.

They look rather nice, I like.

Have you also increased the rim width. e.g 5.5" to 6" or even 7"?

cant you seal split rims? use some loctite silicone sealent or somthing? or does that just compleatly defeat the point of split rims? xD

you can seal them in many ways but fully sealing all 4 is a work of art, i know of maybe one set of splits that have stayed sealed for more than a set of tires*happy*

fair enough, so tubes would be the best bet then by the sounds of it. by anychance was the set of splits that stayed seald ones that were used like a convensional wheel lol

I could probably sikaflex the bits together, as a sealent, but somehow it feels like a bodge...

Using a smear of silicone to seal the rims to use them without tubes is OK, this is how the 13" wheels on the DON at the moment are, with bolt in valves.

However to get them apart again is then difficult, so the other option is to use a tube and bolt them up with no sealer, so they can be dismantled more easily and tyres swapped without the local tyre moneys knackering your nice outer rims.

I don't use tubes in mine, nor does Stuart Wright who used to drive 30+ miles to work everday. I used sealant from Image wheels about £7 IIRC.
