Want new wheels. Need advice

Hey Rob.
I would start by painting the exsisting wheels maybe a metal flake silver. They sell wheel paint at Advanced auto parts I did the wifes Lexus wheels and they turned out great.

Hmm. Good thought. I never think about the flake paints. When I'm thinking paint I always tend to think about flat colors, but the flake would certainly make a difference. Thanks Michael.

Could also jazz things up with an LED swap on the trailer lights. I did on mine and like it way better.

Yeah, that's in my plans too. I'm going to do a complete trailer rehab project (sand blast, paint, etc), and part of that is new LED lights.

I was so happy once I finally got all my lights swapped out to LEDs, and on top of it, the trailer lights are nice and bright and almost obnoxious at night. But who cares really, I would rather be visible. Curious to see what you end up doing with the trailer wheels. I should really think about cleaning and scrubbing mine and then polishing them...next spring after it comes out of storage. Headed there in 5 weeks already...

Something that may be neat is to take the white wheels, and then paint the centers (spoke sections) the color of the trailer, and leaving the outer lip white, or vice versa. I know it sounds cheesy, but can look good if done right.

Otherwise, polished aluminum wheels would look great on your trailer.

Well, Michael got me thinking about paint, and the rest of you have confirmed the idea that this might work. I picked up some polished aluminum paint today and will be trying it soon. Anything will be better than these white wheels.
