The wheel is fine, but it is often the tyre they put on them that has the incorrect load rating .............

TBF, most steel wheels supplied by trailer manufacturers are crap ........... mine are 18 months old and showing quite a lot of rust, despite being washed down after every trip.

However, this winter I will get them powder coated ......... that seems to last OK ............

That would depend on what trailer you are putting them on and what car they came off of......

You would be better getting them blasted and hot galv dipped to be honest. Powder coating is very easy to chip removing and fitting tyres

But for us left handed posers it does look very nice. Geoff.☺️

You don't change the tyres very often on a trailer, they usually date expire first !

The tyres are moved and refitted by the powder coating guys who specialise in wheels and marine metalwork.
 

They did my last boat trailer, the ifor Williams GP trailer, and the Jeep wheels.  ....... all have been fine.

I will get the boat trailer wheels done in left handed blue to match the boat 😇
