The bolt pattern is 5 on 4 1/2″ and I would stay about the same outside OD on the tires as stock. If you had 15″ tires before they would probably of been around 26 1/2″-27″ OD so I would probably stay close to that range of tire size even if you go to bigger rims.
I understand what your are saying, and I do agree that I like nice looking wheels myself on my rigs. However, an additional 1500 dollars to the total financing or not is alot for me to sway toward the less expensive side. I dont mind that kind of money on electronics becuause they are more functional during my outing. Just my opinion.
Robin, No shooting at you on your opinion, though in comparison the wheels on the BCB trailers are way more costly than those of the competition. The wheels and tires are 15″ and these cost much more in percentage. We can go to a standard trailer wheel design and really reduce costs. The issue is not simple in terms of a price on the overall package as that section is limited as to what BCB receives. It is shared by vendors in many cases and we will break that down just a bit for you.EnginePropellerCablesFuel LinesControl Box (shifter)GaugesTrolling Motorfront LCR rear LCR (both usually very large with GPS)Side ImagingHydraulic Tilt SteeringTrailer frameaxles & end unitswheels and tirespaint and accessoriesFuel Tanks (New EPA style are costly)SeatsSouthco Latchesraw materials in boatHavent even gone into the production costs and labor at BCB, or the overheads and insurance cost on these pocket rockets. So you see there is more to this than just saying its only $XXX costs on the gross package. It becomes an exponential percentage of the actual return to BCB.Then its just shucks, as no one else gives away a jacket and hat on every new boat purchase. BCBPS: Its just like all that interest your getting, its profit isnt it!
NOT TRYING TO COMPARE TO THE COMPETITION….THEIR RIMS ARE VERY PLAIN..NOT COMPARING BASSCAT TO ANYONE.I LOVE THE ROCCAS,BUT THE FINISH OVER TIMEWILL NOT HOLD UP TO A MORE EXPENSIVE RIM…..JUST SAYING,IF I WOULD SPEND 50K,ID SPEND 51 OR 52 FOR MORE BLING…YES ALL MY HIGH INTEREST IS PROFIT.I HAVE NO EXPENSESPLUS ALL MY CUSTOMERSPAY ON TIME EVERY MONTH..MOST FEEL IM GIVING THEM A GRANT….NOT TRYING TO COMPARE BASSCAT THO TO ANYONE.SORRY IF IT SOUNDED AS SUCH..ROBIN
Tideman:I tell you, I really loved my Rocca wheels. I did not like having to polish them, but they sure looked great when polished, and in my opinion, out classed the wheels that I saw on any other boat. The wheels that came in a close second to the Roccas was the claw wheels, in my opinion. Corky

RICK, PLEASE EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE..WORM JUST REMINDED ME THAT YOUARE COMPETING AGAINST THE COMPETITION ON THE WHOLE PRICE OF A BOAT,NOWI UNDERSTAND WHY NOT ADDING EXTRA COST…SINCERELY ROBIN THE DUMB ASS.
