Trailer wheels? opinions?

Who has put different wheels on there trailer to dress it up a little?
From what I understand, the standard 5 lug,4.5" bolt pattern for a trailer is the same as at least 100 differnet car models.Forign and domestic. I realize there is a difference in the trailer tires vs. a car tire, But I was thinking of doing some work to the trailer just to make it look a little better and I think a nice set of wheels would be a big part. Of course unless they are steel,the correct lug nuts would be required also.
Anybody have any opinions on practicality or fesability?
 
Go to Cand O marine. They are having a blow out on some killer looking rims. They are $75/piece with center cap. I liked them so much i've purchased 8 of them. Can't touch that anywhere!!
 
Steel chrome on mine with balanced radials.....aluminum wheels on a boat trailer will corrode at the bead causing a leak.
