What are the advantage of Dayton wheels on trucks over Budd?

They look classy as f**k on old-school rigs.

One can kill you or sever your hand. If not seated or mounted properly, they will. I see no benefit in the split rim apart from low production costs.

You don’t have to remove the entire wheel to replace a tire. You just have to remove the outer section. They’re a two piece design.

Easier roadside serviceability

Dayton wheels are much stronger. On rough roads/surfaces they resist torsional stresses and thus cracking.
The down side is keeping a dual set true. They are difficult to true up when mounting. They also had a problem with maintaining lug torque as they often required different torques to each lug to true them.
Budds had a problem with cracking around the bolt patterns early on. Not so anymore with improvement in design and metalurgy.
Hope that helps.

In the earlier 20” version that was true. They were multi piece wheels. After about the early 80’s they went to the 22.5” single piece wheel. Tubeless.
