Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

I was wondering if there in the USA they sell Trailer Wheels (ALuminum)
or Chrome that are size 4 x 100 or 5 x 112 with ET of 35?

Here the trailer wheel assortment is almost non existant. Here is what we have and they bore me to death.

Philip thank you .. I shall take a look see.

The main thing to look for when wheel shopping , is the size of the hole in the middle . IIRC VWs have the largest hole, you might have to get some alloy wheel nuts to go with the wheels
Of the top of my head, cars with 4x100 pcd are VWs, Rovers, Renault, some Volvos, Vauxhalls, Skoda, Seat, Mk1 3 series BMW
Do what i did, take a hub with you, to a scrap yard , and see what fits. Then look on Ebay for ones cheeper

So far I see VW with 4 x 100 Et35 and Honda as well as Laguna.. But I got to tell you some of these are directly from Pimp My Ride TV Show

I have to admit Im a Classic Type a Guy.. Not only being over the hill either.

So Rigsby are there any Vintage or Classic car wheels with the same pattern that you know of?

Steve I guess I should of worded it differently, sorry for my engleis at times.

The Axle bolt pattern here for the trailers are only 2. the 4 x 100 and 5 x 122 at Et35 .

Whatever the ET 35 means - is that the offset?

Also I saw an axle today that was a 4 x 98 ? Hmm

There is a nice set of wheels Ive always loved and that the Porsche 914 chromed ones but they are 4 x 130 and adapters are not allowed here in the land of beauracracy..

It's a shame you 're so restricted.

I just did a search for chrome wheels and came up with these ;

Sorry about the long link
I think they look great, and soooooo cheep. They are an hours drive away

They just need a Jag axle

Dave

Now with the cost of fuel over here, you would be much better off buying new.

Yes, "ET 35" means an offset of 35 mm (hub centre 35 mm outboard of wheel centre.

Wheels sold specifically for trailers here generally have an offset of zero or 1/2" (12.7 mm). The 35 mm offset is typical of modern cars, such as those listed by Rigsby. The 4x 100 pattern and about 35 mm offset is also common among various Japanese brands including Hondas, especially Civics from a few years ago.

Classic Finn wrote:...Also I saw an axle today that was a 4 x 98 ? Hmm

That would be 4 x 4" (just expressed in metric), which is apparently common here for very small trailers (such as many teardrops); 5 x 4.5" is much more common on trailer axles between 2000 lb and 3500 lb.
Edit: Ooops... wrong! 4" is just over 100 mm (101.6mm), not just under (98 mm)
