When you’re hauling serious weight, the Aluminum AM03 Series wheel has the strength to back it up. This 16" x 6" rim is rated for 4,400 lbs and meets DOT specifications for dependable highway use. The steel inserts in the lug nut wells keep the wheel securely seated on the hub and prevent wear around the bolt holes, so you aren’t chasing loose lug nuts over time.
You don’t have to sacrifice looks for durability. The black aluminum build is lightweight, rustproof, and topped with a clear coat finish on both sides that protects against scuffs and scratches. Whether you’re rolling through rain or road spray, the corrosion resistance keeps this wheel looking clean and sharp season after season.
Fitment is straightforward with this 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and a 4.90" pilot diameter. The zero offset design centers the load for balanced pressure across the hub face, helping your setup track straight and steady down the road. The wheel accepts standard 1/2"-20 or 9/16"-18 bolts, making install simple with no guesswork.
For setups that call for higher tire pressures, this wheel is built to handle it. The valve stem hole measures 0.453", sized for a metal bolt-in stem like the Americana #AM20906, which is rated for over 100 psi. It’s a solid foundation if you’re pairing it with larger tires that demand higher air pressure capacity.
Looks matter just as much as function. The open-spoke layout gives it a modern feel while cutting unnecessary weight, and the machined face adds a clean contrast against the black finish. It’s a combination that makes any trailer look fresh and well put together without adding extra maintenance or bulk.
1. Count the lug holes
Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).
Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug
2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"
2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)
Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Americana 16 inch by six inch AM03 series black machined aluminum trailer wheel with the eight on six-and-a-half inch bolt pattern. Now this aluminum wheel is very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. As we mentioned, this is an AM03 series wheel, which if you notice is an eight-spoke design that has a nice black finish, and then a machine silver face on the edge of the spokes to provide a nice, bold, sleek look. The black finish you can see is a glossy black, bright, glossy black finish, and they do put a clear coating on both the front and even the back of the wheel to protect the finish. Now the rim dimensions on this, the diameter, which is always measured inside the inside, is 16 inches.
And we're gonna go ahead and put a ruler on that just so you can see. If we go inside-inside, right at 16 inches, and the width is six inches. And the same way, it'll be measured inside to inside, or bead seat to bead seat. There's your six inch measurement on the width. Bolt pattern on this wheel is an eight on six-and-a-half inch bolt pattern.
And if you wanted to measure that on a wheel, it's an even number of lugs, like this one being eight. What's easy is the lug holes are directly across from each other, so when you measure it, you measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the lug hole right across from it. So on this one, if we measured, it'd be six-and-a-half inches, so that's an eight lug, six-and-a-half inch wheel. Now the wheel lug size this uses is a half-inch by 20, or a 9/16ths by 18. Weight capacity on this wheel is 4,400 pounds.
And one of the nice features I like about this wheel is they do use steel inserts in the lug nut wells where you put your lug nuts, and those are designed to help keep your wheels securely in place on your trailer hub. So when you tighten your lug nuts down, it prevents those holes from elongating and wearing down, and eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. Now if you notice the center cap is not included. We do sell those separately. When you do buy a center cap for this, you wanna buy it by the width or the diameter of the center cap.
It needs to fit into this pilot hole here. The pilot hole on this is 4.90. Now this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and the SAE J1204 standards. But that should do it for the review on this Americana 16 inch by six inch AM03 series black machined aluminum trailer wheel.
