I need a couple things for my trailer. Is there a place that's pretty reasonable around town?

Academy is cheap if they have what you need. Otherwise grab the BIG credit card and go to Magnum or Spillar.

Depending on how big it is, I am a big eBay fan.

I'll check out Magnum, I think I have a bent rim.

If you think it is a bent wheel and you have a spare then put it on and see if it fixes the problem. the other thing is jack up the trailer so the tire is off the ground. you can then spin the wheel to see if it is bent. also grab the wheel and see if it has alot of side to side movement. if there is it maybe a wheel bearing going out.

what size and bolt pattern? I have a 14" galvanized wheel just sitting around here. it is five lug but I would have to measure the bolt pattern. if it will fit you can have it.
