13, 14 or 15 inch light weight wheels for 5 on 4.5'' or 4 on 4'' hub

This post goes hand in hand with this:

I know I said I didn't want to buy different rims and different hubs because I didn't think it was in the budget.
Well it's back on the table.
So I'm looking for light weight wheels.
I don't know if 13 inch tires can even handle the capacity I'm looking for which is at least 1,200 pounds per tire.
But I know 14 and 15 inch tires are good for that much weight.
Any one know good make, model and year combinations I should check into?

Our fork trucks come with 6" wheels that hold many tons

With enough $$$$ anything is possible

Another place to look isspace saver spares, I have a set of 13" on my c-car that are rated at1300lbs each, just as long as you don't drive fast they are fine

I went and looked up how much those light weight honda civic VX wheels weigh, because they are 13 inch and supposedly very light weight for a car wheel.
They weigh just under 10 pounds.
I went to tractor supply because I know they usually have 13'' bare steel trailer rims on the shelf.
I grabbed one of the steel trailer rim's and weighed it, it weighed in just under 12lb.
Only saving exactly 2 pounds per side.
I can only get load range D on a 145/13. Which is good for about 1,600lb.

Looks at this point the 145/12R load range E is the winner with its low price and 1,600lb weight rating and the overall size I'm looking for.

I have been using the load range E, 145mm wide 12 inch rim alloy 5 on 4.5'' wheels for a little over a year now and I am very pleased.
I really beat the heck out of my trailer. I have been using my little trailer with these wheels between 10 and 15 days per month, every month for the last year.

175/70/14 Michelin Defender. Load index 87 which is 1201lb at xx psi. I literally just had these mounted up for mine. I fully expect them to last a hell of a lot longer than these bs small trailer tires...
Mileage warranty is 90,000 miles for a 2200lb civic. I wonder what it will be for a 700 pound trailer?
And yes they are civic tires dismounted and put on amazon trailer wheels lol

I believe that my 12 inch load range E tires are shorter rated for 1,500 to 1,600 lb.
But 1,200 per tire would work for most people.
A free used civic tire on a used or new trailer rim would be a lot cheaper than my 12 inch tires.
