You would need wheels of same pcd, offset & width, I think your trailer is 13inch wheel 4.5J with 100mm pcd. From memory alloy wheels fitted to older Corsas & Polos are 100mm pcd so might fit if you can find any in a scrappies but they might be too wide to fit your trailer. You would need correct wheel nuts as well. Wheel centres might need opening up & you would need a lathe for this.

I'm presuming you want to do this for cosmetic reasons but unless you really know what you are doing I would stick with the steels, you can fit wheel trims ok.

The wheels on a trailer or caravan also have to be capable of supporting the weight. For example if you examine the back of a caravan alloy wheel amongst the other information it also shows the weight carrying capacity of the wheel. eg mine say 750 kg each giving a total of 1500kg the pair. wheels from a car are not as strong as those built for a trailer or caravan.

Alko 4 stud wheels are 4 x 100 PCD so you might find some from an older caravan.

There is no reason why alloys should be fitted to trailer - or even ordinary cars - apart from looks    Alloys are more rigid and better suited to high speeds   How fast do we drive our vans?   Aty lowish speed - and that includes below 70mph - there is no need for alloys

used to build my own trailers and mini wheels are fine for a trailer.many hubs are designed to take mini wheels and bearings.there are alloy mini wheels for sale on ebay.double check tyre condition or better still replace them as some are old and cracked on the sides.

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
