Anybody ever use 15" ralleye rims on a car trailer? Appear they would hold up well due to solid weld all the way around, but wondering if anybody has tried in the past. Rims are not worth re-doing so thought on the car trailer would be unique.

Already test fit and they will bolt right on without clearance issues.
 
Oh pics will follow, but safety first. I want to make sure the rims will hold up. I only have light weight A-bodies so the trailer doesn't get worked very hard.

18 ft dovetail trailer with two 3500 lb axles.
 
14" rallyes, last 15 years (change tires as needed)
Trailer rated tires,

trans jack does double duty > as a adjustable height tool tray

might wanna check laws where you tow. some states are very picky nowadays. i towed for years and years with pass car tires and wheels. ralley wheels ain't rated heavy enough. you also need trailer rated tires

'wrecked my trailer

yeh?

Yeh, broke a wheel. sombich's sure looked nice tho
 
Go to the Mopar show here in MN...half the car trailers there in the lot have MoPar or Rallye rims on them :glasses7:
 
Been trying to get to MN show for years and always end up with a conflict. Hopeful this year, thinking of bringing the 8 mile car to the show.
 
Hmmm, assumption on my part fully welded. I will check it out on my 15s.

You should let them know now if you are, I bet they would put that 8 mile fish in one of their pole sheds where the "special" cars are displayed :glasses7:

i ain't sayin it's unsafe. might not meet some state laws, and that's all the 'scuse they need
 
Thanks for all the feedback. With all the responses to the positive, I would say its a go. Once I get them cleaned up and mounted I will post pics.
