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.2022 Imagine 3250

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.Jeff and Mary
