Cameron the tires and rims on the trailer are stock from the trailer kit, i didn't like the way they looked here is some pics

The back rim is what it looked like before i easy off oven cleaner on the chrome and before i drilled the kit's rim holes bigger as you see on the front one, oh and i did spray the rims white also.

and i also had some small brass tubing can't remember the size i just eyeballed it and it looked right i made air valve stems for the tire's and i used a shaved off lug nut which i drilled out a little for the valve stem cap.

Thank you, the rivets i used were the 1.6 size head, i used brass for cab and hood and for the grill i used 1.6 head stainless bought from the place Scale Hardware, here is a link for them http://www.scalehardware.com/ but also look at Brain's thread on his Tri Axel Pete dumper build he used 1.2 rivet head size and they look really great.
