| We blew a tire on our way to Arizona and damaged the rim and having a devil of a time finding a replacement. Codes on numbers on the damaged rim appear to refer to be mysterious codes from the manufacturer who is no longer in business. (American Spirit is now Hoosier in Indiana) One code is: 05 22 6 Next line: 7844. Sandy's RV parts on Miracle Mile in Tucson is trying to help us but did suggest that I try an online forum to see if I could locate a rim that matches. Ideas, anyone??? Internet service is spotty out here (Oracle AZ) but I will check back when I get a connection. THANK YOU!!! |

Location: Tenn/Ala. | Not only did American Spirit become Hoosier, but they are no longer with us as well.
No trailer manufacturer makes their wheels. They buy them on the open market from just a handful of suppliers. If your wheel is aluminum, those seem to change every few months and finding a match for it will be iffy at best. If it is steel, any trailer parts place should be able to get you something at least very similar, that will function just fine. At worst- if needed for cosmetic reasons pull your spare wheel down, and put the new one there. The steel wheels are fairly generic, with minor differences in style that don't affect performance, and most folks don't even notice the differences. |
