We categorize our wheels just based off of what they are typically used for and how good their corrosion resistance is.

For example, the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH39FR you're looking at is a great option for a boat trailer or a car trailer because it has a sleek look but is also made of aluminum so water exposure will be less likely to corrode this over a standard steel wheel with a powder coat finish.

As long as the wheel size and bolt pattern match what you're needing you can use any wheel for your trailer application - we just try to give a little more guidance for people who might not be sure what they need.
