im looking for ideas too.. my trailer that im building is 18" long and 11" wide with a single axle and it will have new bright wheels/tires on it.

my idea for an axle is some all thread rod that fits in the wheels then use a nut to hold the tire on.

I made it simple, I threaded a short piece of stainless I had around and simply screwed in an allen head screw through an Axial Hex I had sitting around. The trailer isn't going to get a ton of miles on it so I didn't worry about bearings with the wheels.
