We are still working on the possibility of split rims, and costings look

like working around $400 per rim. Is this going to be a deterrent?

We need to know we can move them if we get them done, as otherwise we

are going to be considerably out of pocket. Miminum number viable

would around 100 to make it worthwhile, as the machinery has to be set

up to make them. Feedback welcome.
