Naw, Lloyd, this is a new crappy trailer, not the one he was asking
about a number of weeks ago.

Just measure the lug pattern.

Get a piece of cardboard, empty cereal box cardboard/whatever.Hold the
cardboard behind a wheel and draw the lug nut holes and the center hole
with a pencil.That's what I always do.

Nothing beats a torn off piece of brown paper sack for writing down
notes with a lead pencil.

FWIW, I once had some deep-dish aluminum mags stolen off a Ford E-100
van; they're 5-hole, and when I went to buy replacements, nobody at the
wheel store could find a match, so they sold me "universal" wheels, which
had slots and used special shouldered lug nuts with mongo washers.

These were, as I say, 5-hole, but looking for a slotted 6-hole 15" rim
is an idea that shouldn't waste too much time.

Good Luck!
Rich
