Good news. I can help you outfit your boat trailer with black wheels and a 215/75-14 tire.
Since this is not a highly requested combination what you will want to do is to purchase the wheel and tire separately and then have them mounted by a local professional.
I recommend the Black Dexstar # AM20315 14 inch wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, assuming this is what you meant by 5 studs, along with the 14 inch 215/75-14 Taskmaster Load Range D tire # TTWTRTM2157514D.
This Taskmaster Tire is capable of 2,200lbs per tire at 65psi and the nice thing about these tires are that they have a speed rating of M. This means that you can get a max highway speed of 81mph while most other trailer tires are only rated to 65mph. While you most likely will not be near this speed on the highway the higher rated tires will run cooler than the lower rated ones. Heat build up is the number one cause of tire failure.
It important to note that trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum air pressure indicated on the tire. You will also want to make sure that your boat and trailer's capacity is matched or exceeded when replacing tires.
I have linked the above mentioned products as well as a Help Article on bolt patterns to this page for your convenience.
