galvanized vs. aluminum wheels
 

OK, along the same lines as the trailer question, what are the opinions on galvanized rims vs. aluminum? I know the aluminum wheels cost more, but if they cost the same, which would you get??

thanks -

I have a Rolls with 14" galvanized wheels. Bought the trailer new in 1985. Those wheels have dumped in and dragged out my 23' from saltwater more times than I can count over the last 18 years and they still look and perform as new. Although because of the Fla heat, I only get about 4 years out of a set of tires [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] but the galvanized wheels just keep on rollin' [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

PS: I spray the wheels once a year with Boeshield and keep them covered with a world famous GREEN GUCCI [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

ah...the GREEN GUCCI must be the secret: like "pearl cream" for boats [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I bought the aluminum wheels for the Titleist trailer. It looks pretty nice. OK, so I like pretty...
