A local mom and pop trailer manufacture to me (Tampa Bay) makes them. I have bought a couple trailers from them and they are great to deal with. I dunno where you are if they would ship but they are Owens and Sons (Aluminum Slide-On Trailers).

I don't recommend the style that have the decorative drop in between each tire. I had them on my last trailer.
1) On hard turns the tires can actually contact the drop portion and damage the sides of the tread. (I had to open mine up larger due to damaging tires.)
2) They are usually installed when the trailer is unloaded. When you load the trailer with the boat, torsion axles rock back anywhere from 1/2 - 1 full inch. Then the decorative drop sections make everything look off center. (Opening them up a bit alleviated the off center look, but I knew it was there.)
