[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!
