WTB: Trailer Wheels

[Fediej]

Looking to do some upgrades and add some bling to my 4(ish)' x 9(ish)' flatbed trailer project. Currently it's rolling on 215/75-15" rubber mounted on plain steel wheels (pics do not show current rolling stock). Bolt pattern is 6 x 5.5" Currently unknown about the wheels is offset, width and hub/bore diameter, but I'm working on measuring that stuff out. I do know that 225 tire width is about maxed out on safe mounting practices for these wheels. Ideally looking for a pair of 15" or 16" alloys to swap in, they don't necessarily need to be dedicated trailer wheels. But please no more than $200. Let me know if you got some that you think would work and are willing to part with. Thanks!

If you're interested in painting what you have I have used Rust-Oleum bedliner with great results on wheels. It'll probably cost you $15 to prep and paint and touch-ups are cheap too (I have had mine painted for 2+years and the finish still looks great).

Checkout Walmart, they actually have a great selection of trailer wheels. Decently priced too.

I stripped and refinished the current wheels when I re-did the bed over 5 years ago. Blue hubs, maroon wheels, paint has actually held up much better than I had hoped. Need new tires anyway so I'm Just looking to bump it to that next step with alloys wheels and an aluminum ramp before taking it to Round Top in October.

For those that may have been curious, I finally got new wheels.
