Where's the cheapest place to get a 6-lug spare tire and rim?

I have a 2000 Ramblin trailer with the 6-lug chrome rims with the triangular cutouts, but the spare rim doesn't have to match. Doesn't even have to be chrome. I would either mount it under the trailer where it can't be seen or just keep it in the tow vehicle.

I only tow about 20 minutes to my lake so it can be the cheapest quality. Only used in the event of a flat to get home. Not rotated into regular use. Where would be the lowest-cost place to get one of the right size and lug#?

try www.westmarine.com we have decent prices (less than 100 bucks) for a non-chrome wheel tire combo.

I bought my spare rim from a local boat trailer mfg, and bought the tire from my local tire shop I frequent. Both together was about $100, but I wanted the rim to match the other four on the ground and the other spare, and the tires are the good cooper tires.

I think I could have gotten a cheap tire/rim combo from a local cargo trailer mfg for about $50.

Try
trailer wheel & frame
Husky trailers
or some other type of stores that are local to your area.
