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)

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

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

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
