I bought a set of 7 spoke alum rims , mine are 15x 6 - 5 lug , but are avail in any size including 16-8 lug . Here is a pic and e-mail from my supplier Hey man.

Depends on the trailer. Look through the classfied ads to see examples. Most of the bolt together trailers have two large bunks standing up on end that go under your main chines. I suggest a pair of flat 2x6s that rest around the keel inbetween the big bunks, and another pair of flat 2x6s at the front of the trailer which rest around the forward portion of the keel and guide you straight on the trailer. http://www.mcclaintrailers.com/...
