I'm not into trailer bling but those rims, have seen them on a few different trailers, are pretty badarse......

They even look better in person, flat black, deep barrel look sharp. I like the pacific, but thinking the gloss midnight blue metallic might pop.

Personal preference...you don't need the wheel accents there is enough bling with all the flake on the sides in the gel coat. That and the wheels on the tow rig and trailer need to match as closely as possible to complement each other...you going to get some midnight blue metallic on your 2021 F150 wheels to match?

No midnight blue inserts on the truck, but the wheels will be black.

Your point is exactly my concern on the pacific blue inserts, will be drastically different than truck wheels.

The standard Supra inserts are gloss black, midnight blue is effectively black.

Thinking about it, but what’s another $400 at this point lol, or $320.

Only got one of the wheels b/c I had to ask my sales guy how do I get them.

My SL trailer would need the new fenders and upgrade to 18s.

Why is it when I’m not using my boat, all I do is dream of ways to spend more $ on the boat.

No kidding. I almost hit "Buy It Now" on a new prop for the boat I've been in once. My wife has been out of town, and all I've gotten done is made a shopping list for the boat I won't see again until May.

Yep, I am in the “boat”......lol

On boatmate site, wheels are about $1250 for 5

And tires you can get the nitto 420s 255/55/18 at summit racing for $147 Each.

Fenders are just bolt on.

I think it’s cheaper to get the 18’s after then when ordering it.

When you order it with 18s that price also includes going from a leaf spring axle to a torsion axle

Supra trailers are torsion with 15’s.

Only Supra trailer that gets leaf springs are the Tri axles.

18” upgrade on a twin axle Supra is

$2180 for tires, wheels and fender
$320 for spare tire delta.

Plus if you did swap out 15’s I am sure you could sell them as an upgrade to someone with 14’s

That seems pretty cheap. I ordered the same tire off another website that I thought was a great deal too. When I received the tires I saw the date code was almost 5 years earlier. I had bought brand new, junk tires. I still ran them. :D

Ship it to a friends house. Then have to swap at night and hide the other one or say it came with a backup. A friend told me this is how he handled same situation.

My wife used to have a husband like that. Luckily I changed, or else I wouldn't have a boat.

Question, is your friend happily, or still married?
