I have a full set of chrome steel 14" directional wheels (or blades) & tires left over from my last boat I would sell. (Actually have 6 if you want a couple of spares) Wheels are in excellent shape. The tires are from 2001 but have good tread and have spent most of their life inside.

Check the bolt pattern on your trailer. If it is something common (which it probably is) it may help you cast a wider net, so to speak.
Mine for example, is same pattern as a small Ford so wheels off Rangers/Explorers/Mustangs, etc. will all fit. Speaking of which, the rim for my spare came off a Ford Aerostar, lol.... :cheesy:

That is pretty much the "standard" for most 5 lug boat trailers that I have seen.

Correct. The same on all of my trailers.

The standard pattern is 5 on 4.5" spacing which is the standard car for Chrysler and Ford. I have a set of 16" Aluminum rims from a Dodge Intrepid that fit. I have some other rims as well. Most of the ones I have are stock steelies. I have one set of Aluminums from the intrepid, one set of 15" aluminums from a truck. The carlson has got 4 chromed steelies, 3 matching one mismatched all the same pattern. Once I get some of these on the road/water will figure out which trailers are getting which wheels/tires. I will definitely have some extras.Devilman said:
Drum maybe you want to trade for that scoop?

Yep... 5 x 4.5 or 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern.. Ford Ranger rims fit. I found a nice set of those but the holes where the lugs go are too thick so the nuts only go on about two turns.. not enough.. damn... I want 14" but 15" would work with a lower profile tire.... so still looking...

You say the centers are too thick for the lug nuts... what kinda rims are they. Some of the old aluminum rims use those shank style lug nuts. That's how my slot mags are...
Lug nuts like this:
If you found some rims you really want, may just be a matter of buying another set of lug nuts to go with 'em.
I saw this ad on CL today, don't know if you like these wheels or not. May could pick up the whole rig, keep the wheels/tires yourself & part the rest out if you could get it for a decent price. This set of wheels more than likely uses those long shank lug nuts like my slots do.

George(Pro53) had a Hondo flat that he picked up from somewhere, the steering wheel was rotted off the same way. Must be something about those chrome 3 spoke wheels... :huh:

If that turned out to be the case, I have a big can full of lug nuts like those in all sizes that I am sure we could get a set out of that would work. If so you could have them.
