Trailer rims
 
I was towing back from the key this week, and had a rim failure. I split/blew out right on the bead. It looks like the wheel weights scraped off the galvanized coating, and after only 5 years, rust right through.

After looking at the other rims, it looks like I am in the market for 4 rims. I was thinking alum, or galv. at the worst case. Anyone know where to get some good used ones, or a source for new ones?

Rims are 5 bolt 14 inch.

im not too sure where you are located, but there is a trailer shop in hialeah that has 14" rim and tire combo for 79.99.

Depends on your trailer and the back spacing . . . but Ford Rangers have a nice 14" aluminum wheel with a center hole large enough for trailer hubs. A full set of 4 with tires are often available on Craigslist for cheap ;) The bolt pattern is same as a trailer. The weight of a ranger + max payload is well over the weight of a 23 with trailer + gear. I just bought a set of 4 complete with tires for $100.
