I kept to the steel wheels because I haven't met an aluminum wheel that didn't leak just a little bit.

$11.99 each at etrailer.com. I am assuming that there is a snap ring on the steel wheel. (Most trailer wheels have one)
I am a year away from getting my 5.0 TA so it is on my "look into it when the time comes" list.
Back in my misspent youth I was stationed at Zweibrucken AB in Germany. My 3 person NDI (nondestructive inspection) shop got delivery of a brand new 275KV X-Ray machine which was mounted in a bright yellow trailer with baby moon hubcaps wrapped in brown paper for safe transport. Two weeks later, the Aerospace Ground Equipment people came and took our trailer to paint a flat olive drab color. They even took off the hubcaps, painted the wheel inside that area and then painted the baby moons. I'm still traumatized over that.
