I pulled my spare TM Factory 14" tire off the trailer, popped the beads on the Goodyear Marathon tire, and inspected the interior of the rim.
There are no markings on the interior of my rim.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the exterior of my rim are the following markings (see picture #1):
DOTT14x6JJ0905MAX.1870LBS BW/JCA CHINA
Translation:
DOT: Department of Transportation;

Interesting to note that the rim has a welded seam that runs the entire 7" width of the rim (see picture #2). Talked with Ed in the service dept at Trailmanor about my 14" rims. He said that TM didn't buy separate rims and tires and put it all together at the factory. Instead they bought the rim and tires already put together & balanced from a local Goodyear dealer. So he didn't have any info about the rims other than what's stamped on them.
Additional info I have is:
- Bolt Pattern: 5 on 4.5"
- Offset: 0
- Backspace: 3.5"
- Center Bore: 3.3"
I'm going to try to give JCA Corporation a call tomorrow to see if they are the manufacturer and/or distributor of my TM Factory 14" rims. Although they may be out of business.
Edit: No answer at JCA Corporation. No voicemail. Email bounces back. Google Earth street level view shows a 4-sale sign in front of their building. Safe to say they are defunct. JCA Corporation was associated with Trail America - Trailer Tires and Wheels (
http://www.jcacorp.com/tires.html) and Jet Star - Trailer Tire and Wheel in TN (
http://www.jetstartire.com/home.htm) - both defunct. No maximum psi limitations published on any current websites or via waybackmachine.
