Guys

I am looking for new rims for my 2003 galvanized Four Winns trailer. IBoat has some yet when they arrived, they were the 5 lug not the 6 lug. I called to return and get the right ones and they said they only had 1 left (I need 2) and their manufacturer was not making them anymore.

I have been looking, but not found any.

I realize I will probably have to buy the rim and tire separate (iboats had them as a package). Spec say:

6 lug 5 1/2 bolt pattern 225/75R15

This where the originals on my trailer came from:

I think most if not all the aluminum wheels used on FW trailers in recent years came from them. They should be able to point you to a distributor.

Mike you are one amazing fountain of knowledge! Do you keep all this stuff in your head or do you have a database?

Needed those as well for my trailer when I was looking for a spare. I found mine on ebay.

Thanks guys. I looked at Ebay but never found the exact style. I will call the company in the link to see.

Database. Being the AR and OCD type, I catalog the part numbers of everything I can on my boat, match them up with FW part numbers, then find OEM sources when possible, etc. so I'll have a better chance of continuing to get the right parts as time goes on, suppliers come and go, etc. In the case of the wheels, my job was easier because I bought a spare through FW right after I bought the boat, and it came in the original OEM box.

Still, the fact remains that there are guys on this board who have forgotten more about their boats than I'll ever know!

P.S. thats the 5 lug, but he has the 6 lug and has tires. Was the same price as iboats.

Just a thought but is that rim "D" rated at 2850 lbs? Or is the 6 lug "D" rated? Excuse my ignorance as I'm trying to find what options are out there for aluminum wheels. Not sure I want to pay $800+ for new tires and wheels when my white rims are in good shape though.
