Well.... I was thinking more matt black with red steels I would like to fit some alloys, as it is mini PCD, but I'm not sure what weight they would be upto. The trailer should be able to carry 1500kgs, which means an overall of about 2 tonnes. Not sure mini wheels would be upto that!

That'd be cool - satin black with red steelies. Some neat pinstriping on those arches would work really well too!

You have jupiters/whatever the similar looking ones are? What size do you have them in?

I have 14" KN Jupiters off a Caterham. They look great, a real classic racer style. Through the Caterham world they are known as 'Skoda Wheels'

benzboy in da house: Hit it with the stick, some Ronal Turbo's and.... About time for a slammed Hot Rod trailer topic...... Last weekend I found this small trailer chassi (made for ATV's) for 120€, it's galvanized and has 4*100 wheels (small 8" stuff) so the 14" Golf rims with 165-50-14 tires & Moon Discs I used on the Shop Slammer last year will go on there and a ramp to support a motorcycle is as we speak beeing made from alu. Looking around for some cool tail lights for it and it's narrowed down to either Cad 59 or Iron Cross Chopper lights so this summer I'll have a cool Hot Rod trailer to pull Fighters on.... DP says: Hot Rod Transport FTW.......

I'm sure I've seen them in 12x6, although the most common ones i've seen are 13x6, 12x5 and 10x5.

I did a little bit of work on it this afternoon and it needs a pair of break shoes (which have turned out to be dolomite / toledo).
