For those who want to move up to 16 inch rims and you have a 5 lug bolt pattern , these may be the solution , I found them on summit racing website http://www.summitracing.com/search/department/whe...

I saw the weight rating too , but most 5 lug trailer axles are 3500 lb axles , so wouldnt four 2000 lb rims work out to 8000 lbs .
If some company started marketing a 16 in 5 lug for trailers , they would make a small fortune
Then I found that on many 3500# axles, 6 lugs are an option. So I swapped my 5 lug drums for 6 lug ones. They were really affordable as I remember. Even came with new bearings and seal, and lug nuts.
