illegal trailer -wheels axles

I was using my brothers home built 6x15 single axle trailer hauling brush and logs and the neighbor comes over and tells me that 'my' trailer will be illegal in two years. I ask why what. He stated because of the 'mobile home' tires /rims and axle that are under the trailer. I was like "WHAT??" as I keep seeing ads in the auto trader magazine at RV surplus places they are selling stacks of these type of axles and tire/rim sets. SO I'm wondering if any one else has heard or has proof of the rumor. I've tried searching the Michigan state police and state MDOT web sites but get lost chasing lot of dead ends. Other websites just mention about having the DOT imprint on the tire. My brother and I don't relish the idea of reworking the trailer --but if we must then we want to get to finding a few extra $$ and fix it soon. (no fun paying the 'collection agent' with the tinkling lights..). I appreciate any leads,info to support or discredit such rumor.

illegal trailer -wheels axles

Thank you all for the "information/direction". It seems the best course of action as EW suggests, I'll prolly need to make a visit to the "men in blue ". But as with any beaurcractic 'shall' 'may' language it could become the circle of "ask the IRS 2 questions and get 4 versions".
Again Thank You for all your input which I have high regard for you guys as to having some very insightful, facts, views and opinions.

Thanks EW... when I'm visiting family in school in Detroit , I'll make it a point to head over to Northville and speak to them in person. Thanks again.
