I am not sure I am gonna be happy keeping the plain white rims on my trailer,,they are the wide ones with 18 something another sise tires,, :?: do any of you know if 8" hubcaps/wheel covers that are used on a golf cart will fit the 8" trailer rims and hold on going down the highway,,,,found these..lol http://www.buggiesunlimited.com/Merchan ... eel_covers

just kidding but they do have some that are simulated spoke mags that look ok,,,better than plain hubs,,,let me know if ya have any experience or just a wild guess,,,

Ok, I have been informed that those are golf cart rims. Here is a link with a lot of choices from caps, to wire covers, to actual polished chrome rims:

Hope this helps.

You know I do not see why they would not work the same.
An alternative would be to have your stock rims powdercoated or chrome plated. Powdercoating is nice because you can usually find a lot of colors.

You could also go for this nifty all aluminum spinner rim:
