Andru,
I cannot remember all the correct steps or which tools you would need
but my *strong* recommendation based on 6 years of dealing with slit
rims on our fleet of school buses.

*Take them to a tire store or truck stop*.

Split rims are a bear to deal with and without a cage to put them in
when airing back up, well to scare you...
decapitation/dimemberment...are two reasons *I* will no longer mess with
them.
Others may disagree.
Be safe and have a happy holiday!
