    We have to have our trailers safety checked, yearly, and the trucks that tow them :( Even if they are new....

    I'll have to go get a new new license plate and sticker for it, but that shouldn't be a problem. Worst I can see happening is them wanting me to drag it to the DMV so they can verify that the VIN plate is "permanently" attached like I had to do with the truck bed.

    ...not in OKLA either.

    Sorry for the dumb question, but I have to ask. I've never had this style of wheel on a trailer before, but have seen TONS of them around here. Why would they outlaw them? The bead isn't like a suicide wheel, so is it all about the "wedge" mounting on the hub?

    Mobile home TIRES are outlawed, not the axles.

    Jamie, any mobile home dealer should be able to get you those "keepers" (that's what mobile home haulers call 'em). If the dealers won't help, I've got some friends still into the hauling part that can probably get me a bunch of 'em. Let me know if you can't get any down there. BTW, don't run that thing with worn keepers, it'll let the rim spin around the other lugs/keepers and ruin the wheel, or the wheel might come off.
