New tires but not wheels
I just received new Carlisle 225 / 75 r 'E' rated 15 in tires from discount tires direct, but I absolutely can't find 2600 lb. dexstar 8 spoke white wheels any where.I have contacted at least ten co.s and 2050 lbs. has been the highest weighted wheel any one had.My factory wheels were 2650. 14 in.. How about some suggestions out there,

Why do you need new wheels? The tires are the problem; I have not ever heard of one wheel failure on the TM (or similarly sized trailer).

I understand that Carlisle insists that you run its ST tires at max pressure, which for a ST225/75R15E would be 80psi or 2830#.
Is that what you folks are doing or plan to do?
EDIT: You might call etrailer.com and see if they can special order for you. I see they have "Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized Finish"
2830# at 80psi, maybe they can order the White Powder coat.

Actually, looking at the Dexter catalogue, I don't see any 14" steel wheels that go up to 2650#, they all seem to max at 2040# @ 65psi.
And their 8 spoke 14" wheel has a 5-4.5 bolt circle, which to match in the 15" size, you would need their 15x6JJ which only goes to 2050# at 75psi (or the 15x5JJ which is only rated to 1820# at 80psi.
Suggest you download the Dexstar catalogue and take a look?
If all you have is a 5-4.5 bolt circle, I don't see any way of getting over 2050# rating.

Hunh. Maybe they're an older model that Dexstar has stopped making.
So you do have the 5 lug 4.5" bolt pattern on your axle?
