I just picked up a Bushtec Turbo 2 trailer and was wondering if there are aftermarket wheels available? Or just through Bushtec? Have not had much luck searching!

 

I've never seen any other than the optional wheels from Bushtec and I follow most threads on the trailers

 

 

I agree with Uncle Larry. I haven't seen any other vendors offering replacement rims for the Bushtec trailer. Part of the reason for that might be the way Bushtec mounts the tires on the trailer, basically using a bolt as an axle. One might be able to make a Yakima RackAndRoll spare work, but you'd have to replace the wheel bearings (6302-2RS) in the Yakima rim with one that has a 5/8" (0.625) bore diameter. I have no idea if that even exists. Plus you would need to figure out if this wheel is wider than a Bushtec rim and if the spindle on the trailer is long enough. Not really worth the effort.

 

I own a Bushtec Roadstar GT and also thought about different wheels. They offer many optional wheels but they are ridiculously expensive, IMO.

 

Years ago Bushtec offered a variety of mag wheels. They were very expensive $1600 a pair complete with tires & bearings. I was lucky to find these mags at a fraction of new.

I have had A Bushtec trailer for about 18 years. And I have never seen nothing but bushtec wheels. for Bushtec trailers. I use to keep a spare wheel for mine. Then Bushtec changed tires. to what is a 50 miles run flat tire. I was told by bushtec rep. So now I keep a new tube with me and that's it. Never had a flat pulling one
