Where can I buy wheels for a Cobra trailer?

[Eric Greenwell]

I'm replacing my Cobra trailer axle with a new one that uses different
wheels than the original axle , so I'll need three wheels with 14"
diameter, 5" to 6" rim width, and a 112 mm, 5 bolt pattern.

Standard steel wheels would be fine, but I'd like to upgrade to
something fancier. My problem is most of the Internet dealers list their
wheels by the car make and model they fit, instead of by dimensions.

Does anyone know of a good source for this size wheel, besides Cobra?
Does anyone know what make and model cars use a wheel of this size?

I haven't tried searching the local wheel dealers or salvage yards, but
that's next if this query fails.

You probably need to look for caravan supplies. Cobra or Komet wheels are
different from car wheels.

Discount Tire used to have a wheel catalog with sizes listed by
dimensions.

One spec that you need to pay attention to is offset, the position
of the hub relative to the center of the wheel.
Wheels with the right bolt pattern, diameter and width are easy to
find.
This link is a decent offset description.

Agnes sent me this specification for the standard 5.5" wide 14"
4x100 Cobra wheels, indicating a positive offset of 30 to 33mm. The J
is the code I'm uncertain of. My wheels have 4x100 instead of J
stamped on them.
5.5 J x 14, ET 30 - 33.

Too big! My Feng-shui would be undone.
