you should only buy 1 of three brands ,
*viking ( TWL ) transport wholesale )
*CM (CM trailer spares) , BNT
*Al-Co ( one of the largest trailer manufactures in the world ) Al-co direct in alk
*or if you have to Trojan , ( best of the Chinese shit ) Repco
If you go in to TWL you should be able to get them to sell you a set Of 1500 kg for 95 +gst
the other will match ,close to that
the reason you want those three is ,
Quality of steel (correct grade Stub axels )
the cut radiuses in there axels not sharp edges , so dont brake so ezy ( stronger )
machined hubs , not direct from castings as cheeper brand do ( wheels run true )
Quality bearings skf nsk etc ( not a no name crap odds sized bearing .) and triple lipped seals
supper cheap do a nasty one
as do trailer quip for around 45-65 , but would not touch them with a shitty stick.
I use to work in this industry.
Hope this helps
Ps chose your wheels first and buy hubs to suit ,
