I bought all new tires on new rims from Northern already mounted, their white but don't look bad. I also switched over to the hubs that require gear oil, the kind with a sight glass and I never had a problem all year. I put more miles on a trailer in one year than most in a life time, I think my problem was always over greasing the hubs, the grease would always leak out the back of the hubs. These new hubs didn't get warm much less get hot, best of all its very easy to monitor.

Eddie I Know What You Mean About Miles , Im Sure You Have Me Beat. My Boat Only Has 140 Hours But The Miles On The Trailer Who Knows, Lets See Ariz. Cali. Texas.fla Twice. Now That I Know About The Ford Pattern Something Will Come Along. Looking Forward To Seeing You In Aug At The Opa In Patchouge. We Should All Take Over Kismit That Weekend.

As Eddy said, try Northern . They have a selection of Galvanized spoke, white spoke, chrome spoke and aluminun modular. Many sizes to choose from. And you cant beat the price. You can buy the rim or the whole tire-rim package, or the tire. They're prices are hard to beat.
