Like to buy a 5.50 rim from auto junk yard for a 2-wheel 6x10 open trailer, so I can buy a new ST205/75D14 tire to make it a spare tire for emergency.

Is there any trailer junk yard in souther california, LA, Orange, Riverside, or San Diego?

Thanks
DIO

Used to be a ton of yards down in Chula Vista...they may be gone now though...EPA and all.

Might try running down to Tijuana and see what's there.

I'll lookup yellowpages in LA or SD first, don't know if it is safe now to go south of boarder. It's essential to have spare trailer tire because I had flatten two car tires years ago when I slipped off new asphalted surface to dusty shoulder on south 79 for just few seconds. The sharp edge of new pavement and the offset of shoulder shred both right side two tires. I replaced one with spare tire from the trunk then slowly lumpping to my sister's house luckily only a mile away on a weekday night. Thanks DIO

Craigslist works well. Go to any wrecking yard with your measurements and they can find what you need. The wheel isn't trailer specific, it's just a set of measurements.
