[A/S] Re: Airstream TT wheel
Greetings Ben!
If your coach has aluminum wheels and you want a match or close
match for the originals, an Airstream dealer would likely be the
most likely to have a match. If that doesn't work, and you want an
aluminum wheel approximating those on your coach most automotive
wheel dealers will also have a catalog with wheels rated for trailer
usage - - for your Airstream you will want a 2,600 pound rating to
match those recommended by the factory.
If you happen to want just a plain steel wheel to carry as a spare,
most tire stores have a catalog with trailer rated wheels - - my
Good Year dealer was able to soure trailer rated steel wheels with a
2,600 pound rating for my Overlander back in 1996 for a very
reasonable price.
You may also be able to find a wheel from an RV salvage yard such as:

Good luck with your search!
