Hi Kelly; I'm sorry to say the Lynx wheels were discontinued by Lionshead and the black version is no longer around/in stock. The only one we still have is the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver # LI44FR. If you don't want to swap out all of the wheels to match your best bet is to check with a local RV junkyard to see if they have the black ones.

This wheel didn't fit on my Grand Design 310GK. The physical geometry of the back of the wheel that fits next to the disk brake didn't physically clear the brake structure. I'm currently looking for a salvage yard that might have one of the original rims that are useable to avoid replacing all four rims for aesthetic purposes. According to the old Lazy Days facility in Tampa (I'm here for the Tampa RV Show) I'm not the only person looking for replacement rims. Everyone seems dumbfounded that Lionshead discontinued this rim.

@RichT you had the Lynx originally? All of those should be identical (assuming the same size like this 17-1/2") with the color being the only difference. Unfortunately, Lionshead is notorious for discontinuing wheels after a very short time. A lot of manufacturers buy them at the OEM level and by the time someone needs a replacement they're gone. If you end up replacing all of your wheels so they match I typically steer people toward Taskmaster like the # TA24XR or # TA84XR since their designs tend to stick around.

@RichT ah I see, the Margay is another style that looks almost the same as the Lynx. It is still surprising to hear that it didn't fit.
