how do you tell a 3pc wheel from a 2pc? just curious, here's a picture of 2 wheels (rear wheel and front wheel) but i dont know how to tell if its a 3pc...
come to find out my wheels got alil goofed up, and they made me a 9'' wide wheel instead of a 9.5'' but i plan on keeping it b/c i aint gonna send them back, just to wait another 6 weeks to get a couple wheels that are .5'' bigger...but what i do care about is if its a 3pc or 2pc wheel...so anyone that can help me out, i'd appreciate it...

Yep 3 piece break down into 2 rim halves and the spokes. 2 piece are the spokes bolted to a whole rim/barrel.
If you have Black centers I'm betting you have 3 piece wheels.

oh ok, i think i see what you guys are saying...so a 3 peice will be 2 barrels, with the spoke section holding the two together? so the spokes is actually considered a "peice"...see what i was thinking is, there is a outer barrel, connected to a center "mag" then a inner barrel connected to the other side of the mag...ill show you with a picture...
this is what i thought a 3 peice was:
