Yes, a huge advantage of a 3 piece rim is repairability. Considering how little protection our low profile tires give our rims. And how bad roads are. It is nice to be able to just change a rim half (inner or outer). Not only is it less cost then having a entire new welded wheel made, it is generally a lot less time also as wheel manufacturers have most wheel halves on the shelf and can turn them in a couple days.
