Here are the 15 inch wheels we added

These are 14x6 aluminum slots from the 70's with 205-60 tires.
tons of miles every where no problems. I also created a small
flare on the restyled wheel opening but the wheel and tire would
fit the stock opening. The side marker lights have been recessed
into the body. Some of the mods to our HoneyMooner!

Here's a pic of the new wheel on our Scamp during the pre-paint test fit stage. It has since been re-installed with new center caps. These 5 spoke aluminum wheels came stock on our Little Guy. I've found them available in the aftermarket now for around $85 shipped.

Fred NICE "Cali", I'm a Ford guy at heart

Here's our other rod and tent trailer. I sold my inprogress 30Eh 2dr to buy this 26 T Touring. The trailer I'v had since 1966 (early days back in Floodipeg)

Dan, I REALLY like the L K of those "spokes"

Ah I love to see all the mods and customs....
17's to match, now to just finish building......

The beauty rings were a $.50 yard sale find. So we sanded and painted the rims to match the trailer.

Anyone know a source for 13" 4 lug mags or chrome plated wheels?

Tom Trostel

Tom---If they are the same as Scamp, (4 on 4") that makes the wheels the same as Vega, Chevette, etc. Start scrounging your local wrecking yards. Larry

anymore??

here are the ones that came on our bigfoot

Here's what I have rolling under my Scamp...

I've got a question, and this seems like a good place to ask, since most everyone here has added aftermarket rims.

I thought I had read somewhere that trailer rims were different? Like they were hub centered and not lug centered, or something like that

Also.... offset?

How or what are you all looking for that tells you that these (or any) aftermarket rims will be suitable? I mean, beyond that they are the diameter you want and the number of lugs you want? What happens if one runs the "wrong" rims (even if they do physically fit)?

Thanks,

Raya

I believe you need to know size (13, 14, or 15 inch), bolt pattern (like 4.5"), and with my Casita it's zero offset.
Here's a pretty good source for trailer wheels: http://www.ricks-tire.com/

To answer a couple of your questions from both actual towing exprience and working in a shop
that specialized in aftermarket wheels.
Hub or stud mounted wheels,, only difference is weather they may move a slight amount
up and down and a radial tire will remove most of that when moving, no matter what wheel
you have no your trailer now jack it up and spin it , will probably run out somewhat.
Offset,, may work your bearings a little harder if they are negative offset bet on my Boler they
won't fit with too much offset.
My wheel,tire combo is featured in this post and we just got back from 39 days and 19,000
km's with 0 problems.

Phil, what year is that Bigfoot? Looks like a 99 or 2000.

Got from the junk yard $60.00 for three of them with the rubber...

Off a Lincoln...

That's the way ya do it!

Don't buy the chrome plated steel. They will rust because the plating is too thin usually.
Causes me to steel wool them and keep waxed.

They also have to have an appropriate load rating. Which for most fiberglass trailers isn't an issue till you get to the single axle Bigfoots. We wanted to put wheels on the BF that match the truck but in the size we want we aren't comfortable with the weight rating.

Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it. If you're determined to have what you want "wheel-wise" I'd suggest a call to Stockton Wheel, if they don't have it, can't get it, they make it!

I actually love your slots wheels better...

Slots are old school and very cool, I had them one my Datsun 510, loved that car!

Hey Arthur, ya love the old school stuff.
I have these type slots on about everything I own!
truck, utility trailer, Boler, 64 Comet "hot rod"
and a 1929 Model A Ford hot rod I'm building
(well started anyway!)
Theres a 510 sittin in Nelson BC on Baker at a service station
with slots and a racing stance, says when he gets the money
He'll have it runnin again. Very cool old car.

We used stock rims and added hubcaps and trim trings on all three wheels.

We had a terrible time finding wheels for our Compact Jr-if I remember right they were 13" 4x4 1/2. Couldn`t find anything that would fit-(salvage yards said the camper was too old-no parts that old)-until someone had 3 wheels on Craigslist for sale-racing wheels-we measured and they fit. Now we have sharp looking wheels.
If I can figure how to post pictures -will show what they look like.

I'll try to find a closer shot of the rims on our boler , matches the car !

Nice facebooking there J.J.!!!!
