    Help me pick new rims for my boat trailer...Please Vote

    I'm now down to choosing between 3 rims. One is a 15x7" rim, which uses trailer tires. The other two are both 16x8" rims, which will require car tires. I hadn't originally considered this, but I am now, just because of the much larger selection of rims (which I have narrowed down to these two).

    If you have another suggestion, pick OTHER and write it in. Needs to be 0mm to -6mm offset, no wider than 8".

    So, which do you prefer:

    15" x 7" Ultra Type 50/51 (winner from the last poll):


    16" x 8" Ultra Type 181 En4cer


    16" x 8" MB Gunner 5


    I guess this is what I'm down to. Again, it's to go on this rig:


    Thanks for your input!

    Go with the 15" inch wheel and a slightly taller sidewall, the ride is more absorbant being easier on your boat while towing...

    Now all you need to do is order four more in 18" or 20" for the truck , and spray some of that good looking burgandy paint on the STV . Then you have it going on . Rich martin 018

    I'm not touching the truck...it's a company rig. The trailer is going to get painted silver, to match the bottom striping on the truck. Here are the pics of the new rims...just got them Friday.

    I'm glad you picked those. They look great. The gunner5's had a little too much Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Martin Luther King, look to them.
