i like wheels that are easy to keep clean. i like the look of painted drums behind an open wheel.

A lot depends on what is going to be in the center hole. #1 is the only one that shows a center piece.

wheel load rating
Do all the choices meet the recommended load rating for your size trailer? Just a thought.

I like #2.
#1 screams "steal me", #3 says "1975"(I had a set on a '74 Torino), #4 looks a bit plain, #5 looks too delicate, and #6 looks like something I would find on a truck.

hi j and g...
NO on #1 which looks way to bling ish unless u are planning exterior mods to match it.
NO on #5 and #6, these look exactly like the alloys on new units AND have corrosion issues...
marginal yes on #3, rotary dial wheels look great, especially when they match the tv wheels...
big YES on #2 or #4, classic 5 spokes ALWAYS look sharp and never look out of place.
and i suspect the retired alcoa classic 5 spoke can be found used and will fit perfectly.
and since they aren't clearcoated can be mirror polished!
cheers

I like the #2 wheel also--simple, easy to clean and would look appropriate with a vintage unit.
Happy Birthday, Janet!

I had bought the #3 wheels for my safari. They look great with ROUNDED trailers.

Janet like?
