Location: western PA		I lost a 16" 8 bolt stainless trailer wheel simulator last weekend. Found out you can't buy a single replacement; you have to buy a set of four.
I plan on getting a new set and keeping two (one spare).
Would anyone be interested in splitting the set and costs? It doesn't matter to me if they are a snap on or bolt on style, but the bolt on would lessen the loss problem.

Or does anyone have some extras that they would consider selling?

Hope your summer was enjoyable and safe.

Thank you

Location: Northwest Ohio		Does it matter what kind of trailer?  I think a friend of mine has had the same problem.  I can check with him.

I don't believe it matters to brand. Most trailer manufacturers purchase their wheels from suppliers and don't make them themselves.

The simulators I have on my Exiss and Sidekick are interchangeable, since both use the same 16 inch rims with an eight bolt pattern. In conversations with various simulator suppliers, they were only concerned with the dia and bolt #'s. This was also true of the Exiss dealer.

Thanks again

Try www.hubcaphaven.com I think they will sell just one I have bought several sets from them in the past.

Ithink I paid $119.00 for the set.

goldmedaltrailers.com has individual ones.  I was admiring them last week - $42 or so.

Location: western PA		I tried both of your sources. Thank you very much for the input. I found that the trailer simulator covers have an inward dish that matches the shape of the wheel. The covers sold as an universal application for trucks have an outward dish that is necessary to clear the various axle hubs.

My trailers have the inward dish. There are some ebay auctions that have trailer simulators and I'll try to make some bids on those.

Thank you for your help. You all continue to be a great source of knowledge and I appreciate the sharing of your information.

Location: western PA		It's hard to tell from the photo if it's a dished or rounded cover. If it's a dished cover that is profiled like a trailer wheel, then yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

These are the ones I bought at hubcaphaven.

These were listed under universal wheel covers, 16 inch  on page two.

They are for trailer wheels.
