Boat trailer wheels - what are they??

I have a boat trailer which when I bought it was told had new axles, wheels and tyres. Only problem is there is no spare.
The rims are 4 stud 14" with 5 1/2" x 14" rims. I thought they might be Datsun rims - however upon inspection the rims have and GM stamp followed by WB - I know they are not WB rims. Could they be earlier model HOlden rims. How do I tell. I need a spare or two nice alloy mags and keep the rims for spares.
cheers,
Scott

4 cyl commodore wheels were still 5 stud - same as torana pattern.
4 stud could possibly be Gemini, although I think they only went up to 13" rims until the FWD ones.
Cheers,
Mick

Most likely your best bet is to change the hubs to the same as your usual towcar, and buy a set of wheels to match, that way you can use the same spare.
The trailer people can supply hubs drilled to any pattern you want.
You are changing the wheels anyw

Hi Scott, No idea what your current rims are, but if you measure the PCD (across diagonally opposite studs on a 4 stud hub) and take that measurement to a tyre/wheel place, they will be able to tell you what has the same stud pattern. Then you just hav Edited by user Saturday, 1 April 2006 8:42:28 AM(UTC)

I had the same problem with mine but I had 10" rims, they turned out to be rims from a mini minor. I found a spare at a swap for $1.00

If you find that they are Camira wheels & you can't locate any AE92 Corolla wheels have the same PCD so they should work. |

Camira & Gemini have the same stud pattern, but a different offset.
