That is the first trailer I've seen with a full set of GTA wheels. They were in good shape too.

Re: Check out these trailer rims

Just make sure the Diamond Spoke wheels you have are 1988 and up 1 piece "Dimple" style wheels and not the 1987 and down 2 piece non-dimple style Diamond Spoke wheels.

The 1987 and earlier 2 piece non-dimple style Diamond Spoke wheel was used on Buick GNX, Pontiac Trans Am & GTA. They are weak in the hub area and prone to cracking and getting out of round in the hub centric area. By all rights they should have been recalled by GM. You for sure don't want to use them on a trailer or a car either for that matter.


1987 and down non-dimpled 2 piece style Diamond Spoke wheel. Bad & Weak.

1988 and up dimpled 1 piece style Diamond Spoke wheel. Good & Strong.
