Replacement 14 Inch Black Modular Trailer Wheel

Published 06/22/2017

Question:

Is there a difference between Boat Trailer rims and other rims? On the website there are fewer options under the Boat Trailer link and wondering if they are something special. Im looking for 14inch black modular rims only for boat trailer GVW 3,000 lb.

We classify boat trailer wheels as those that have more corrosive resistance than a standard steel wheel. Primarily aluminum and galvanized wheels. But anything that we call a "boat trailer" wheel can be used on other trailers and a boat trailer can use another wheel.

The 14 inch black modular wheel we carry is # AM20315 which has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and is rated up to 2,040 pounds per wheel. It does have an e-coat primer and black powder coat finish which has some resistance to corrosion but not as much as a galvanized or aluminum wheel.

I've linked a video on the modular wheel as well as a couple articles for you.
