I orered a dolly from Ellis and Mike said you had the connection on the trick wheels I would appreciate any info .I didnt want to bother you at work thanx in advance MitchMitch & Sangster, the wheels I get are DOT approved and believe it or not I haven't had any problems (knock on wood) even when towing to CFW twice at 65 mph. There a steel wheel because the aluminum tend to crack, even though there are alot more wheels to choose from in aluminum I prefer the steel. They only come in a 4 lug bolt pattern and resemble a chrome mod wheel. You can call me at the shop and tell me how many you want if you choose to go that way
Thanks Billy i need a set of four i will call you late afternoon Mitch
I ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT TOWING WITH A DOLLY TRAILER...BUT THOSE LITTLE WHEELS ARE CRANKING...I'D WORRY ABOUT MY BEARINGS GETTING HOT?? I KNOW AT PRIME MARINE WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOLLY TRAILERS.... :supp:

I towed from Medford, Oregon to Yuba City, California stopping only for gas (425 miles).

Yes, I had a grease gun riding shotgun, but I found I never had to use it for the 425-mile trip. I'm sure it helps that I did not have a motor loading down the trailer, but I suspect that keeping an eye on the little tires might be more important than the bearings. Good high-speed rated DOT tires are a must.

I KNOW AT PRIME MARINE WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOLLY TRAILERS.... :supp: You have to use timken bearings and the best races you can buy. Regular marine wheel bearing grease won't work either, tends get runny when hot. I bought some synthentic high temp wheel bearing grease from Rex Marine and that stuff does a great job. I believe Lucas Oil also has some great stuff along with Mobil oil synthentic grease. And always make sure the air pressure is right, to low and you'll lose a tire due to heat.
ellis is in the process of building my dolly right now for my B BOAT. rims and tires were gotten from Mr Billy B.
I will post pic's once complete.

Who carries the 4-lug hubs-axles-and springs?
