OldestCityLocal Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Looking to get new rims for the old trailer. Local shops here in St. Augustine don’t really carry a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldestCityLocal Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 This is what I’m replacing. Just scared to order the wrong rims online. Seems like for 70-90$ you can get a decent rim in 205/75r14. Aluminum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Try eCustomRim. They’re on Amazon. I just ordered a new set of 5-lug 14x5.5” galvanized wheels for $69.95. Also found the ST205/75/14 Freestar M108+ radial tires I prefer for $36 each. Both delivered to my door in 2 days with free shipping via Amazon prime. Balanced them at the tire shop for $10 each. I’ve never seen aluminum wheels that look good a year or 2 after being dunked in saltwater so I stick w/galvanized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the rims...except I prefer Maxxis or Kumho. dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smooth move Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 is it just cosmetic or is something wrong with your rims? bead blasting would make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t hold air have to take them to shop every other month to get new valve stems for two of them. I’ve sanded and polished inside near valve stems but keeps happening. Plus there super old ford ranger rims the guy before me put on. Time to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Not saying do not upgrade, but that slime is good stuff for slow leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely pitting at the bead, can easily be fixed. But new rims are also pretty inexpensive. Six of one, half dozen of the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemott Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Used my local shop. Been through the restocking fee dance with a boat cover. Even when they make the mistake, still charge you the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettN Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Everything you see there already mounted and aired up. Shipped to my door in less than 24hours. And yes, purdiness alone is a good enough reason to buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
