Rims

I'd like to replace my old 1994 Stratos rims (rust). Original or something else (non painted), aluminum. Where's a good place to look and do they have to be trailer specific? Thanks.

I wouldnt think so as long as you have the correct size, offset and backspacing for the wheels.

Offset:
The offset of a wheel is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel.

Backspacing:
Backspacing is distance from the back edge of a wheel rim to the back of the center section. Measured in inches, backspacing is closely related to offset. This measurement is important because it determines the clearance of the wheel in the well, and the amount the wheel will stick out.

Hope this helps.
