In your dreams. 110 lb. Psi rated rims are 140 each. G rated tires are 240 each and I need 7 of each.

I like my 20" wheels. Short sidewall is stiffer, less wobble when loaded with the 5th wheel. Tires are expensive though.

That is about as short of a sidewall and still look like a truck tire. That's why I'll stick to 16" rims

exactly... not only for looking right.. but better ride too.. it puts all the shock into the suspension instead of the tires absorbing it.. ntm they dont have the same weight ratings either..

Trailers mostly have either 6 or 8 lug patterns. The 15" come in 6 lug. 16" and 17.5" come in 8 lug and some 16" come in 6 lug as well, usually on a 5.5 bolt pattern with 0 offset.

Wheels are rated for 80 pounds or 110 pounds with the 110's beefier and more expensive.

And you're right about the design on a lot of the wheels - look like the tricked our rice rocket car wheels. Hard to find a basic wheel.

When i rebuild my little hauling trailer im upgrading the hubs because the old ones are 4 lug's and use them doughnut tires.. I still have 3 of the tires & rims from my old s10 when i found some nicer dumpster diving rims which looked a whole lot better on the s10. so going to repurpose the old ones and use them for the trailer. and not have to fight with them dinky doughnuts. ntm tires for them rims are cheaper than the mini-trailer ones...

yeah i miss the old styles... trailer rims use to be nice and plain.. nothing fancy about them alot of times they had a skirt to come down and hide them.. now its like they want to show em off and getting these wacked out designs...

Never claimed to be able to hang with you money bags. I'm a poor middle class supporting millions of welfare and illegals. You see where Florida is going to give state education aid to illegals. Bunch of f$%#ing BS! Those "law" makers who created and supported it should be arrested for aiding and a bedding criminals

Howdy Jim

I didn't see that, but I would agree...

If they want to be here let them do it legally then they can get all the aid they want..

If they are illegal they should not be given anything..

Not completely true. I don't mind helping support a free ride back south of the fence
