Pro-Line enclosed trailers?

Does anyone own one of these? Here is the link:

The price is definitely right as I'm looking to buy my first enclosed trailer and would like to find a solid entry level model.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

NO-- but see if ya can get 5000 pond axles and 16 inch wheels--- with that you get bigger brakes heavy duty tires and less problems and worries about blow outs and handling too--- FED387

they are great people to deal with.....down to earth. They used to be STORM trailer dealers and now they are carrying other brands as well as their own. I really like STORM trailers....they are a "medium" quality trailer with all the necessary things that make it road trouble free. Get the 16" wheels and the most expensive axle options you can afford and you will not be sorry. Road speed kills 15" wheels and should not be an option.

They offer an upgraded wheel/tire package that includes 15" aluminum wheels with 225 radial tires for an additional $580 for all four wheels/tires but it appears you can't buy one of their trailers with 16" wheels. Should I just opt for the basic wheels and tires and when they wear out replace them with 16" wheels and tires from a local place? Our plan originally is to just do some local bracket and class racer until we get the car sorted out and then we'll travel more.

the axle option to get 16" wheels is a 6 lug axle. You will probably find out the 15" deal is also a 5 lug axle, but I have seen 6 lug with 15" tires in rare cases. Move on to another supplier and get a 6 lug 16" wheel even if you have to leave the floor out. 15" tires at 65+ MPH in August road heat are rolling bombs. The revolutions kill the tire dead.

I just checked with them again and to upgrade axles to #5200 is $600 and that requires 6-lug wheels which is another $680. So now instead of being $3900 it's $5200. However, the 6-lug wheel/tire upgrade with the heavier axles is still only 15" radial tires. Would I be able to, when those tires wear out purchase 16" 6-lug wheels with heavier 16" tires? Opinions?
