Basically anything that will fit the bolt pattern, zero offset (typical for Scamps) and are the right size wheel.
I had mine made at Stockton wheel... don't ask me what it cost... it was outragous, but it was important to me Can't take it with you!!!!

Check out Eastern Marine in De. They have a fairly good selection at reasonable prices. Your bolt pattern for a 13 Scamp will be 4X4 or 5X4.5 .

As they say.. by the way (BTW) are you looking to "add" hub caps? Pay attention if the wheels have "innies" or "outies" makes a really big difference when buy "moonies."

What bolt pattern, what size tires? Steel? Aluminum?
I accidentally (luckily) found out Ultra made trailer wheels that matched my pickup wheels. Easy choice.

We used trim rings and hubcaps on the stock wheels.

Google the wheel size and bolt pattern you have or want and add "image" you will get about a gazillion choices to weed through. But read carefully, not all will fit your trailer.
For example: "13 inch 4x100 wheels" returned more images than I could count....

Any real auto parts store will have studs to replace those bolts, which would then allow the use of chrome lugnuts.
OR... You could replace those bearing buddies with standard dust caps and fit an automotive hub cap or wheel cover.
If you like the bearing buddies then you could use a wheel cover and cut a hole in the center.
I put some old Ansen Sprints from a Pinto on my Lovebug, they need to be nearly zero offset though....click on the picture for a better look.

I expect so... that was a very common pattern for small cars (with high offset). If the trailer has 4-bolt hubs they're likely 4x4.00", zero or 1/2" offset.

As Brian pointed out, 4 on 4" is not 4 on 100.

While 100mm doesn't exactly equal 4" it seems that they interchange both terms for the same wheels. But you can also google "13" 4 on 4" wheels" and get about the same images.

If you want to run wobble bolts and a hub centric spacer.

4" is 101.6 mm... or 100 mm is 3.937". That's not nearly close enough for me, especially in a wheel/hub system which is centred by the studs, not by a precise match of wheel centre bore to hub. I suppose it would be close enough for some.
In practice, it probably doesn't matter, since there will be few if any 4x100mm wheels available with near-zero offset for a typical trailer, and similarly few if any 4x4.00" wheels available with the high offset needed for most cars which should be using the 100 mm pattern.

replacement wheels for 13' scamp
My 1999 scamp has the five lug wheels and I bought a set of custom wheels from my local Les Schwab tire dealer. They look much better than the factory white rim .Have a friend that has a scamp with four lug wheels and he found some 4 lug pinto wheels and painted them and installed hubcaps and trim rings.

If the Pinto used Ford's traditional small-car bolt pattern, that's 4.25" (known as 108 mm when used with more offset as on more recent front-wheel-drive cars such as my Focus). That's vastly different from 4.00", and I don't know how close to appropriate the Pinto offset might be.
I know Floyd will know the correct pattern and offset for a Pinto...
