Wheels - powder coat or new chrome?
My trailer is at the shop now waiting to be sandblasted. My existing wheels are in very rough shape - they used to be chrome. Should I go ahead and get the old wheels blasted and powder coated (probably white) or should I replace them with some new chrome rims?
Anybody know a good source for nice chrome trailer rims? Is this something the local Pep Boys or Goodyear tire store would sell?

www.trailersbydorsey.com has rims in their online catalog. Just ordered a few parts from them today.

Definitely do not go with white. Go with new chrome ones. You can also find mag wheels that look similar to the 5 spoke star design. Like these:
 This is the company I bought all my parts through for my trailer refurb... they are about 15 minutes from my house and they are really nice and easy to work with. http://www.trailerandtruckparts.com/trailer_wheels.htm Last edited by Sodar; 02-07-2007 at 05:20 PM.
