Thanks for reaching out, Crystal!

I really like the Black Spoke Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel because it looks tough and sleek at the same time. If you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you'll need part # AX02550545BML, and if you have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern you'll need part # AX02560655BML.

Attached is a photo of this style on a trailer so you can get a good idea of how this setup will look on your setup1

I currently have 205/75r/15 5 on 4.5 mine are standard ugly white utility trailer wheels that rust so I want to replace them...not sure if they are 5 or 6" wide rims...hard to measure...does it matter the what width I purchase?

@CrystalM Thanks for the extra info! Since you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you'll want the part # AX02550545BML. Width can have a factor, but it's more for oddball tire sizes. For standard tire sizes (like what you have), the tire would be compatible both with the 5" and the 6" width so you're goal is to match the bolt pattern.
