Anyone have any suggestions where to get some nice wheels for my boat trailer . Seems like there not that easy to find?

If you want to use adapters, the selection widens quite a bit. You can use car wheels, etc. I'm not a big fan of adapters though.
I just got a set of chrome Moto Metal 954's 16 x 8's and tires from Tucker Tire for $1000. The caps fit right over the bearing buddies, so it looks really clean. Went with the Moto Metals to match my truck. I have 951's on my truck, but they don't make the right offset to fit under the fenders on that wheel.

Are you talking to me?
If so, No.
Troy is super cool. He bent over backwards for me to get these wheels. Had them shipped from Kansas. I've been dealing with Tucker since 1990.
I buy at least 1 set of wheels and tires a year from those guys. Last year I spent almost 6K there. I know once you do business with them once, you'll never buy tires anywhere else.

I bought some aluminum ones on sale at discount last month for $75 each. They are so light you can hold 2 of them out in front of you with the tires on them.
I had chrome weels on my last jet trailer and they were a pain to keep from rusting so I was looking for aluminum ones this time.

I honestly have no idea what would be a fair deal for both of us. What are you thinking price wise ?
