    Replacing Rims

    I'm thinking about replacing the stainless steel rims on a 1993 stratos traiter and was wondering what I need to be aware of before I start looking. Is there a size stamped on them somewhere or a weight rating and or bolt pattern I need to be looking for?

    Thanks for any info you guys can share with me.

    Yes, 14in, "0" offset, 4.5 on 5 pattern... Trailer wheels are rated for more weight, Get Load Range "D GoodYear Endurance and you will be all set... Don't forget to get the high pressure valve stems also known as RV valve stems.

    I doubt the rims were stainless steel. Perhaps chromed or galvanized. Maybe I just learned something.
