Pretty sure trailer wheels are trailer wheels, however I'm also pretty sure you need the wider fenders to fit them, just an fyi. Congrats on the new boat!
I've said this before: What's the point? If it's just for looks and the money is burning a hole in your pocket, then go for it I guess. I don't really trailer much, just at the start and end of the season and maybe once or twice to pull the boat out for a deep clean. To me it's not worth it to tie up thousands of dollars in larger wheels, as the tires are just going to rot. Also the lower profile is harder on the suspension and I don't see a need to batter the boat on bumpy roads. I prefer the extra protection of the higher sidewall of the standard rims, and replacement of the tires if one blows, is much more palatable. I can also use the money for better things, like gas, boards, or just using it for something I'm going to get more use out of.
Just my opinion...

I was looking around on the forum and found a thread where somebody put some 14" Racelines and it had the look I was going after so I am going to order those wheels instead plus it will save a ton of money and still give me the look I want.

Those are the wheels that I run on my trailer and they are pretty close in appearance to the MotoMetal wheels on our truck.Quote:

Looks legit I have Moto Metal 0970 on my truck. I will post up some pics in the next few weeks when I get them installed ebay has them for $360 for 14" I need to check the size of my current wheels when I get a chance not sure if they are 14" or 15"
If you have a discount tire close try them before eBay. They are a great company to work with and can get about any wheel.

Thanks for the advice I just got off the phone with Discount Tire he is checking around and calling me back later as he didn't want me to sit on hold.
I purchased aftermarket wheels and tires for my 2017 F250 online and then took them to Discount Tire by me to have them put them on.
The manager came over to me and told me they can get pretty much any wheel and tire and will price match as well.
+1 for the customer service at Discount Tire. Makes me wish they'd do some other services there too. I can change my own oil but if I'm going to drop off a vehicle or wait in lobby for a while it be nice to knock out services or brakes while its there.
I second the race lines. That’s what i put in my trailerhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...63af4b4322.jpg
I also remember someone on here doing the 18s, he ordered rims/tires/fenders from boatmate. This is the best pic i could find if his rims lol my bad, but he did also get the bow ladder as well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b449577c6.jpg

Ooh I love the ladder ! I think that's why I don't want to go with 18s because I don't wanna change out fenders etc....i think the raceline will do for now I am gonna look into the ladder for sure might seem stupid to some but I would use it for sure when I launch by myself.
Does anyone know where to buy the bow ladder and how much I don't see it on Boatmates website ?
You have to call boatmate direct. They will run your vin and see if you have the extended tongue. If it does then it will fit “but” you loose the swing away function.Quote:

We went with the 18”s from the factory and had them color matched to match the boat. I don’t have any information on adding them after the fact. They don’t really have a functional purpose but we trailer a lot and I think it makes a huge difference in the look on the trailer. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...04040365b5.jpg

Raceline Mambas ordered today will post pics when installed they are coming from California so may take a week or two I am being told.

Really wanted to install 18's but the 14" Raceline were attractive price point wise. I also just ordered 1100s and Wetsounds 6.5s.

Looking good. I couldn’t get the caps on unless I spaced out the rims which the tire guy didn’t recommend so I don’t have caps haha

That's weird I wonder what is different about the hubs.

Oh ok I actually assumed that my trailer still had the Vault system I should have stayed outside when they were removing the wheels to see what was back there.
