Trailer Wheel, Any Idea What Car Wheel Will Do?

Why can you not clean rim and have a weld dropped over the hole or inner tube should be cheap enough for a yorkshireman

Always an option but a rim will be cheaper than a tube and you can stick your finger through the hole so more than a drop of weld!

Giving the rest of the rim a good clout with a chipping hammer should detect any more likely holes. Weld over a patch on the inside and then put a tube in provided its a tubeless tube that is, I don't think you can get smooth ones now but may be wrong. Smooth off any pigeon S*** weld splatter to protect the tube. May work may not but could be a good spare, you do have a spare ?

We have a spare, it's on at the moment so we are not stuck, rest of wheel looks fine so the weld is always an option but as I said previously a £5 rim will still be the cheaper option as tubes are over that.

Won 4 corsa wheels on ebay for 99p, I doubt they will fit as I think they are more likely to be in the 40 offset region but at 99p with tyres and trims they have to be worth a look.
