Years in the trailer business and never heard of such myself. What are ya lookin for here. I used the stock rims off my truck on my big trailer. They're rated for about as high a poundage as your gonna find any rubber to fit em. If you want heavier then that you just use the Rickson type wheels that run the semi/big truck rubber.

need a 22.5 x 8.25 with 0 offset, planing on running a tire rated for 9000lbs
ya, problem im having is all i can find in that size are dully wheels, and my trailer only got 11.5 between the frame and outside rail.
I recently changed out the axles cause two of the three hubs broke off on one side, its now got 2 15k axles with the 10 bolt semi lug.

dont remember the name of the place but the guys that custom build the heavy duty wheels for 4-wheelers can hook you up

their wheels are made out of what looks like 1/4" steel

Rickson is the company that makes the rims that fit our trucks and run the semi tires. Which by the way our truck rims will fit on 7000 pound or over 8 lug axles. My stock rims are on my triple axle trailer.
