Where to get a replacement rim

I have a 2013 Keystone Montana 3150RL

Found the source of a slow leak being a tiny crack in the aluminum rim that came with the trailer. I belive there is no way to repair. Can anyone suggest where I can get a replacement rim that might be a match?




Thanks

Dave

Tredit was the supplier of your rim which has a lifetime warranty to the original owner. I suspect they no longer make that style but go ahead and contact them regardless. As they are warranted for life, they should offer to send you two replacements (which match each other) so the one side of the RV will look fine. They have offered others to send two additional rims so you can change out the other side and then all the rims will look the same. Last I heard those two extra rims were around $69 each,

I have had 2 of my rims crack on my 2014 model. I bought a new set of modular rims for the rv after that as these rims seem to be inferior. I paid 99.00 for each rim plus shipping.

I owned a wheel repair shop for 10 years, and then sold it to one of my employees. We repaired cracked wheels daily with a tig welder. Most of the time, a wheel cracks on the inside lip due to hitting pot holes or road obstructions. Personally, I have welded on thousands of wheels resulting in successful repair. The only place that it's unsafe to weld is on a cracked spoke or where the spoke meets the barrel.
