I like these wheels for trailer wheels on the trailer and I can get them in 14x5.5 or 15x5, My question is does anybody know what the width is on our trailers? my trailer is a smp with 14 inch but I might go with 15's to get a little bigger rim look

Those are great for trailer wheels. Sure beets the old white wagon wheels.

I have the "bling" wheels on mine - and one thing I find is that I am scared
to death to let anything happen to them --- driving over a curb for instance, I will
not do with these - but sometimes need to.

If I were shopping, I would make sure they are tough enough to take the occasional
curb, etc (when you find yourself in a parking lot that is too tight, etc).

I also have the real low profile tires ($$$) which I would not do again.

My old trailer had decent wheels and regular tires, it wasn't a total concern to take
a curb now and then (slowly of course)

Just my $.02 if I was starting from scratch

I like em! Not too Flossy! I'd do 15's for sure. To save some money, I just painted mine matte black to match my truck's rims, but those ones ur looking at are sweet, especially for the money.....go for it.

Well they would cost 400 to my door, Then I gotta locate some decent trailer tires for them! My question is Is our factory wheels 14x6? And if they are do you think 15x5 since they might be a little narrower? they also make them in 14x5.5 which is a little wider

When doing any wheel upsize also take into consideration overall height, you don't want an inch higher tire that might interfere. You want to make sure you have proper fender and suspension clearance. You want a wheel with zero offset so it stays centered. You're not going to gain much in looks over a 14" with a 15" for the record either.

Great looking wheels, I would go with the 15's if you have the room. This will raise you up a tad, so make sure you have enough room to get it back into the garage.... With my tower down I have about 3/4" of clearance right now.... just made it.
