Can Aluminum Trailer Wheels be Used on Boat that Sees Saltwater
Published 03/09/2022
Question:
I regularly trailer my boat and dump it in salt water. I have galvanized rims but would like something nicer like the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel. Would that hold up in that environment or would you recommend staying with galvanized? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Aluminum wheels actually would hold up better than galvanized ones since aluminum does not corrode like steel does. So the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH49FR that you referenced would work great for you and would last a long time.
