What are the advantages of 2-piece or 3-piece wheels?

Everytime I see a 2-piece wheel, the advertise the fact that is a true 2-piece quite hard, any performance advantages to it?

Besides the price? well, to and three piece wheels are built more durable then weld, mag, aluminum alloy, or steel wheels. If you are a person who just does straight line and crappy street racing, just stick to the chepest shit there is. If your a serious track guy, you want three piece or 2 piece wheels because they are more balanced and will resist twisting and turning more, therefore sparing your tires some pain. Basically, only get 3 piece is your drive really hard. Also, 3 piece rims are generally for low-offset applications and for staggered tire sizes. Say going above 265, youll usually use 2 or 3 piece. If you look at anything with 335s, they will be between 11-13 inches and the offset will be between 0-20 on nonstock sizes, thats what you use multipiece wheelss for also
