First off what your looking for is a Car rim that will fit your trailer.
I Think?
Without knowing what Make, Model and year car it came from.
A wrecking yard/Junk Yard would be your best bet. Walk in with the hub in hand.
Find out the dimension from the hub face to the frame, ask somebody here, right now many people are at a building point where it would be very easy for them to get and forward that dimension to you.....What Frame do you have?
This is important.
Many people have done this using just the bolt pattern and the tire has hit the frame.
This is very easy to check at the yard. Bring a ruler., on the back of the wheel get a dimension from the flat spot on the rim (next to a bolt hole) and measure to the outside of the tire.
If that dimension is less than the Hub face to frame dimension (by at least an inch), it will work
The correct ones are out there and are plentiful. But so are the wrong ones.
Choosing a trailer wheel is a 2 part question.
Bolt pattern and hub face to frame dimension.
BTW if you go to a Auto parts place LOOK FOR AN OLD GUY (old guys are invaluable, they know and remember things without computers) give him the Hub face/frame dimension, the hub or bolt pattern and the size wheel you want.
He may be able to help you...but don't ask a kid. Unless you have a cars make, year and model He'll tell you they don't sell trailer rims.
Hope this helps.
Happy Trails
