Default Rim choices - silver or white?

I have a 2006 2619 and I'm upgrading the tires from load range C to D. I ended up going with Goodyear Endurance ST215/75-14. I'm guessing my rims are likely not rated for the higher tire rating. I presume for the $70-$120 it's worth being sure. As you can see from the photos, my current rims are pretty grimey too.

Amazon has a good price on Rim 14X5.5 J 5-4.5 White Modular 2200 Lb. 3.19CB 75PSI - $34 w/free shipping. -- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GUKWB78..._RRwDCb84QDKR5

I also considered changing out the color to a silver look - https://recstuff.com/trailer-tires-w...wheel-dexstar/ but that would be $111 after shipping and new lug nuts instead of $67

I did consider going to 15" but I didn't want to have to buy 3 tires and rims. Also, we don't see ourselves carrying water/black water ever. Our camper is packed lightly as we were used to towing with an Odyssey but just upgraded the TV to a GMC Sierra 1500.

Any thoughts on what rims to go with?

You can also choose black rims. That's what I got when I did an emergency wheel size change in the middle of no where some years ago. Looks good, and makes the wheels less conspicuous.

It looks like I could also get silver direct from ecustomrim -- http://www.ecustomrim.com/ecustomrim...er-spoke-1870/

I'm leaning towards this now. Will this work on the 2619?

The important numbers are rim size (14X6), the bolt circle (5-on-4.5 inches), the weight bearing capacity (you mentioned 2200 pounds, which is good, but watch out for lower numbers like 1500 pounds), and the inflation capacity (at least 65 psi). Your new wheels will probably come with rubber valve stems - throw them away and install metal bolt-in stems. And once the tire is mounted, it is very important to balance it. Many tire places will tell you "we never balance trailer tires". Insist on it.

Your link described a 14X5.5 inch size. Read the specs on the tire to be sure that is an acceptable size.

Bill, great. After your message I checked Goodyear's website and it says the approved rim range is 5.5-7". I also chatted with the rep and they said it should be fine.

I'll ensure they balance and will throw away the rubber valve stems. Thanks so much!
