Can I change these split ring rims - or will they change me???……. Forever

My wife wants me to turn this old canned ham vintage Tour-A-Home camper into a food truck trailer where she can sell baked goods, sandwiches and coffee.
The restoration is coming around now- starting to go back together and clean up nicely.
Time for fresh sneakers. I’ve got new tires to go on it- but I have to deal with the split ring rims- wish me luck!!

Those can definitely raise the anxiety levels! I’d like to see your ideas for the water truck! I may have some pipe to donate?!

That's how my father and grandfather showed me to do the lock ring rims years ago.

Those old tubes had tr150 valve stems which where hand bendable, they still make them and they are nice because you can bend the stem any angle you want.

Oh wow- I didn’t know that.
Thanks

I found 2 10 inch Chevy hub caps if you want them

Thanks Jason- they won’t work on these- but I’d happily take them for some future project
