Best place to buy trailer wheel / tire?

[bbaxter51]

I lost a trailer tire on my way back from Atlanta a couple weeks ago and in the process of pulling to a safe place to change it, the wheel got all bent up. I went to tractor supply and they wanted about $180 for the wheel/tire. Where should I be shopping? Craigslist came up with nothing. It's a 5x5 rim 205/75/15

That's not a terrible price for new. I've ordered from both of these places in the past (two G-rated wheels from Eastern Marine, and a bunch of stuff from e-trailer):

might not end up being cheaper, but if you could find the rim somewhere seperate, might could get/order a trailer tire from a tire store and have them mount it.

After an afternoon of running around and calling places I guess a 5x5 wheel isn't very common. I might need to order it, but I need a spare no later than wed afternoon...

Jeep wj & newer models are 5x5. Make you could find a wheel off one of them to use.

Red Neck Trailer supply, Branch in Lincolnton, should have anything you need, + Web site. Doesn't list prices.

Call Brandon at Rides. He has always given great deals on wheels and tires.

After calling every trailer shop within 50 miles of Mooresville and a couple different craigslist nuts, I ordered a new wheel/tire from ebay for $105 shipped. Who knew 5x5 was an odd size trailer tire? I'm just glad I didn't loose a tire last week going to Harlan and back thinking I had a new spare - that didn't fit...

I tried the Jeep wheel but it was a little wide since my wheels are 15x6. ( doesn't help my fenders are bent to shit from driving over them a few times on accident)

Agri supply!! For all your trailer needs. Can't beat the prices.

Before I came up with an actual trailer spare, I found a 16" "doughnut" spare in the junk yard. It has a double bolt pattern! It's a little short,
but I have used it as a spare, & on long trips, still carry it, as an extra backup.
