Alcoa
Aluminum built a special aluminum wheel in Cleveland Ohio exclusively
for AVION. I purchased a set of new wheels that resemble the originals.
They do not have the deep dish design but the mod style may fake
you out at first glance. My trailer actually had a set of the OEM
wheels but the dealer traded them off to another guy who apparently
got them tossed into his deal. Unfortunately for this savvy negotiator
he did not get the spare that I use to this day. Here is my bill
of material to build my new dream wheel and tire set up.

great.
Rear
wheel is the exclusive Avion OEM manufactured by Alcoa. Front
is my new aftermarket aluminum "Mod". It lacks the deep
dish but "mod" style maintains many of the characteristics.
The new wheels match my truck wheels better.
Dexter
built most of their axles in the 80's with "inset wheels"
of 1/4 - 1/2." The people at Dexter saw no problem using
wheels with no inset. I have found no difference in handling.
If you get new wheels, make sure they are all the same.
