    Rims

    I'd like to replace my old (1994) rusted chrome Stratos rims. I tried C.O. Marine but they don't have my size. Anyone know any places to look. If not do replacements have to be trailer specific and can you use aluminum?

    EZ Loader has a large selection of rims on our online part store. Here's the website. Remember though you need to know the bolt pattern of your hub.

    I got a great deal from a guy on Ebay, replaced all 3 wheels with brand new aluminum ones for $210.00, saved shipping because the guy was close enough for me to pick up.

    I bought 2-- 3 years ago and they still look like new shipping not to bad.
    They were $50.00 each back then.

    Thanks. Those are sharp looking. I notice you have a center cap. Does it fit over bearing buddies or whatever system you have? My old stock ones have no center cap at all. Do you have to take the caps off whenever you want to lube?

    Lucky,

    They sell the center cap as well they are like $5.00 and the lugs .75-$1.00 each if I remember. If you look close the center cap of the center cap pops off and I can grease my sure lube hubs, I'n not certain if it would fit with bearign buddies with the center cap cap on.

    Re: Rims (StratosDadRI)

    Yes, As long as you get the longest center caps available you should be ok. You can't get a cover to fit on the bearing buddy with the cap on though but it doesn't really matter as the center cap protects it from debris. I have them on under mine on a Ranger Trailer. Just make sure you get the longest center caps available.

    I have a Stratos trailer with the sure lube hubs. I'll probably just go with the stock no caps. That's what I have anyway. I just never noticed trailers with center caps before I guess. Thanks guys.
