Where to get, replacement wheel(s)?

[thisismyusername]

How do you find matching replacement wheels for an RV? this is a 2019 Imagine Grand Design

(I didn't find anything useful with the search function)

Have you tried the Google "match a picture" function? You'll want a pic of just the rim.

EDIT: nearly all aluminum rims have the name of the mfgr. and wheel size stamped or cast into a web on the back side.

You will also need the wheel diameter and inside bead to bead width..>>>Dan

Is that a ST205/75R15 tire?

That wheel is a Lionshead Cheetah style wheel but you will need to know if it is 5 inch or 6 inch wide as they have both widths in 15 inch 5 lug on 4½ bolt circle.

If you have not, you should join the My Grand RV Forum as this is where I went and searched for spare wheel and found a thread of someone wanting a second spare as they were blowing their Westlake tires faster than they could get new ones............... and someone said that Lionshead was the OEM for the Grand Design wheels, then off to their site........... You really need to get rid of those Westlakes and if room permits (and the rims are 6 inch) upgrade to ST225/75R15 GY Endurance tires. (you are supposed to have at least 5½ wide rim for the 225/75 tire.

Looks like etrailer.com sells the Lionshead Cheetah wheels. https://www.etrailer.com/tv-Demo-Lionshead-Tires-and-Wheels-Wheel-Only-LHCH1566SMF.aspx
https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Tires_and_Wheels-pm-Lionshead.aspx Contact them and ask after you determine the width of the wheel.

It is infact a lionshead cheetah wheel. Lionshead no longer makes them, grand design does not have any in stock, etrailer does not have any in stock

You need to know the wheel specs, as Charles described. Wheel diameter, wheel width, number of lugs and the lug "circle" diameter. With that information, you can order any corresponding size and know it will fit. The rest is choosing whatever appearance suits your fancy. Are you looking to replace just one and want to match the others. Or replacing all of them so a different style is ok?

You don't need a matched pair, the only way anyone would notice is if they look at the other side...

If you end up replacing all of them, or even buying one of something else, I highly recommend RecStuff.com and Sendel wheels. I bought a set of Sendel T03 style wheels from RecStuff that had been on a sale. When I ordered the sale had apparently only been for in stock wheels, and while they told me they had them in stock, they actually did not. They had Sendel drop ship me the wheels, which were a newer part number with a higher load rating, otherwise exactly the same, and stood by the sale price. Sendel is the wheel that Airstream is using.

The Cheetah wheel is a design unique to Lionshead, I have never seen that style in any other brand. Some patterns are common across several different brands.

Another possibility is a used rim, you might give your phone a workout: RV salvage yards by state.

Buy two and put them on the same side. They won't match the other side, but hardly anyone will notice.

This site has a pretty good selection.

Yea I was hoping for that but unfortunately there aren't any in my state or even nearby unfortunately

I've been searching for a couple of weeks and I can't find a stock rim for my trailer but I have located some resources that might help others.

If you want to bring joy to my heart and happen to see a lionshead cheetah rim in a 15" 5x4.5 for sale I'd be ever so greatful. Pic attached


1. Searchtempest.com: a tool that can search craigslist nation wide.

2. USA/Canada/Australia nationwide search - Facebook Marketplace and awesome site that can search Facebook marketplace nation wide, craigslist is pretty dead anyway.
*Make sure to watch the really short YouTube video on how to use the tool.

3. Lastly there's a seller on EBay who seems to have a really good selection of used/take off RV rims available as singles. Security Measure

I have no affiliation with any of the above.

This seems a continuation of your earlier thread at Where to get, replacement wheel(s)?

I'm going to merge the two.

This one was to help others who were in my same boat. So titled it with key words that other users could easily locate with a key word title search rather than content search hence I made a separate thread. Now it's buried and not obvious to users where to find the useful content. Nor is the merged thread title as helpful

I was looking to buy an OEM (replacement) Rim-Only for a damaged one on my ‘19 Grand Design 2150RB “Imagine” Trailer but couldn’t find any LionsHead-“Cheetah” 15”x 6” (5)on 4-1/2”ctr) (new or used), so I went with black steel (ugly but functional) wheels.
Now I have (3) OEM LionsHead “Cheetah’s” with (4) center cups available if anyone is interested.
