Lightweight Trailer Wheel Recommendation that is 12 inches in Diameter

Published 02/06/2015

Question:

What is your lightest aluminum wheel in the 12 x 3 1/2 to 4 range, and how much does it weight? I am looking to build a really light pull behind motorcycle trailer, with an aluminum frame and 450 lb total torsion axles. It will be pulled by a medium weight bike, and the towed weight will be limited to 1/2 the bike weight.

The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LH45FR that you referenced would be your best option. It weighs 10 lbs which is the lightest wheel we offer. This wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
