I’m not going to offer an opinion on the trailer wheel issue. The manufacturer has spoken, and I don’t have a dog in that fight.
However, I would like to point out that there is a greater-than-zero chance my original 16x4.5 GM wheels experience a failure.
And some greedy lawyer could likely make a case that my 70+ year old wheels were not designed for modern highway speed, use with radial tires, etc.
