    '96 Champion 181, Anywhere to get trailer wheels?

    I bought a new to me '96 Champion 181 SCX Elite last fall, previous owner had a blowout and I need to pick up a spare. The trailer was made by EZ Loader Customs, does anyone know who the original manufacturer of the wheels was? They don't have center caps and I don't see any branding. There appears to be a K/M mark on the inside of the wheel, but I haven't been able to run that back to a manufacturer.

    American Racing and Ion have wheels that look close, could these be them?

    Thanks - Derrick

    Welcome, Derrick. Can you post a picture of the wheels you do have? That way, someone might have the same ones and be able to head you in the right direction.

    That does not look like stock on Champs. Hope someone will recognize this and help!

    11pounder, it seemed like it was working for me but I've tried again using imgur instead of the attachments.

    The top picture is of the front of the wheel and the other two are of the back of the wheel. I thought someone might recognize the markings.

    That wheel was pretty standard. I had them on my 1993 ranger and my dad’s 89 sea ray trailer.

    the other pix are of the back side ...

    Looks like the ones on both my 90 & 93 TI trailers. According to one of the pix the OP posted of the back side, they are 15x7. That is what you'll be looking for as well as the bolt pattern. Measure between two adjacent bolt holes center to center for the pattern. I replaced the ones on my 92 & here is a shot of the ones I pulled off it. I don't remember where I got the replacements. That was over 10 years ago.

    FYI, for anyone else looking the ION wheels are not a perfect match but they're close. I'm going to put one ION wheel on one side and the stock and the spare on the other side. I'm likely the only person who will ever notice seeing as you can't see them both at the same time.
