Hi Charlie; so a 17-231 means it is a Dexstar mini-mod wheel, and 15x5jj means it is a 15" diameter x 5" wide wheel. We have a couple of options for that depending on the color you need, so either of these could be exactly what you're looking for:

- Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver Powder Coat # AM20436

- Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - White Powder Coat # AM20443
