I've been looking at their stuff. They have a good price on the white spokers. If you buy their tires with their wheels they say they will mount them free. My biggest issue is finding the right tire. Also looking at Sears and Walmart locally. They have several American (?) made tires listed at decent prices in the 13 inchers. The trouble is you have to do a lot of research to find out where tires are actually made even when they have an American name on them.

This is great . Now I know that I have options with the 5x8 NT trailer . I know that I can buy the trailer & use it as it comes ,or look around for 13" wheels & tires that will fit & still give me enough clearance , or I can still get the 5x8 trailer & buy a Dexter axle with hubs made to my specs & find 14" or even 15" tires & wheels that will fit ! Thanks again folks !!
