Time for a wheel upgrade, and BERG is my hero.

Those the kind of wheels where when you stop they keep spinning?


I'm totally jam jar, man

That's a good looking wheel, worthy of a single pimp point id say. Lets see a picture on the trailer, might even be 2 point pimp improvement

Nice looking wheels. What are you doing with your old ones? I need to by a spare.

That sucks that this happened. I am in the same boat - got a new trailer but did not come with a spare. If you decide to sell tires I am interested in spare.

unless you're local, buying a spare might be spensive to ship.
cost me $150 for a spare at the local tire shop. that was rim and tire.

rims look good..

Can anyone tell me what size the tires/wheels are on double axle trailers.. i have 18" tires/wheels, but need a spare for my road trip tor portland.. they dont make the rim i have anymore so i cant get a match, and a basic spare is all i need.

I'm pretty sure I'll sell off the other three wheels. I will be keeping the TIRES. Just selling the bare wheels. I get pretty good shipping rates through work, so it *might* be feasible, but not sure. I just shipped about 22 pounds to the Midwest and I was able to get it done for like $12 to $13 in shipping.

Again, I'll be keeping the tires, but selling the wheels.

Brand new the best price I've found on the wheels I have is $80 shipped. So for a used wheel I'd do $40 shipped to the lower 48 states. I can get actual pics of each of the 3 good wheels so people can see what they're buying. IIRC, one had some surface rust so I'll see if I can clean that up at all and post pics. I don't want people to be surprised.

Go to this tire size calculator, punch in your existing tire size. if you want to get a basic spare (like a 14 or 15") then change the wheel size and it'll give you options that will have about the equivalent rolling diameter.

So, I ordered up my 5 wheels from trailer-wheels.com and they had great prices and fast shipping. I opted to get a pair of tires from them as well and had them throw them on, as they mounted for free.

I didn't pay close enough attention when ordering the new tires though. I ordered a pair of bias ply, only to find out that the other 3 tires I had are radials. Technically you can mix them on a trailer, but I didn't want to do that. Trailer-wheels.com wouldn't take back the tires since they'd been mounted, so now I'm stuck having to sell a pair of trailer tires on CL or whatever.

I'll also be selling the remaining 3 steel wheels.

I got 2 new radial trailer tires mounted/balanced yesterday. I took the two wheels that were getting new tires into the tire shop and put those on the trailer last night. Now I have the 3 steel wheels/tires off the trailer and in the back of the car with the 3 remaining new wheels and I'll put those on tonight. I did it in 2 trips so that I wouldn't have to haul the trailer into the tire shop in the rain. With Berg's spare the trailer is currently sitting on 3 wheels (with a jack stand giving additional support just in case and the bent/flat wheel thrown on for good measure in case the jack stand failed for some crazy reason. Yeah, I know the double axle trailer wouldn't drop far enough to have a rotor hit the ground on the wheel-less spot, but it took an extra 2 minutes with air tools)

I'll have pics after it's all together.

If anyone local wants a brand new tire or two, let me know:

Technically, I could ship, but we'd have to discuss as shipping would of course bump the price up, and to ship them in one box, I'd probably need to pay to get them mounted (I can get that done for $10 locally)

The 3 oem steel wheels will be $40 shipped each to the lower 48.
The surface rust that I mentioned shouldn't be a factor. I found a cool online tutorial that showed how to remove surface rust from chrome using aluminum foil. who would have guessed! I did a session with the foil and it did as promised. the chrome wheels are looking great.

What size are these and how much? For all 3 shipped, just the wheel not the tire.

Tom, are you still going to buy the one wheel? I sent you a PM.

Tom above PM'd me last week about one wheel. So assuming he buys that one, I'd have 2 left. But regardless, $40 shipped each, which is half of the best new price I found.

They are 14x6.

You guys need to pony up so he can cover the cost of that spare rental.
