    Imagine wheels - spare wheel

    On my imagine, the spare is a black wagon-spoke type of wheel. I had to put it on while I drop one of my wheels off at the dealership to get it warrantied. We believe it has a crack in it. Tire is losing pressure, but dealer said tire was not leaking. They did not bother to solve the issue, so I had to press again and they said bring wheel in and they will get it warrantied (trailer is less than 1 year old).
    Question; Anyone ever considered using the steel wagon spoke wheels all the way around. Wonder if they are as strong or stronger than the aluminum mags.
    I actually like the spare.

    Within the same weight capacity, aluminum wheels are lighter than steel, which reduces the stress on suspension components. Also, aluminum is less likely to corrode. When I finally buy a second spare, it will be aluminum.

    On a occasional use trailer, I would probably go with steel wheels due to cost.
