[QUOTE="lazyMlazyK, post: 344096, member: 1697"] I found some bad sidewall damage on one of my boat trailer tires over the winter, and I'm going to replace both of the tires for good measure. The tire that's still good will become my spare, as the spares that I've got are in tough shape too, and they're old anyway - wheel size B78-13. I'm finding that after mounting a new tire, and disposing of the old tire, it'll cost almost the same as buying a tire or two already mounted on new rims. This brings me to my question: are powder-coated rims as rust-resistant as galvanized? Galvanized rims are a tiny bit more expensive, but if they'll provide much better rust prevention than powder-coated rims, then I'm all for it! What are your experiences with either of these kinds of rust proofing? [/QUOTE]
