Features to know about

Built for Everyday Hauling: 1,660-lb Steel Wheel Strength

This chrome steel trailer wheel is made to handle real towing loads with confidence. It’s rated for 1,660 lbs and meets Department of Transportation standards. The 13" x 4-1/2" rim gives you solid support and durability trip after trip, whether you’re carrying gear or heavy cargo.

Corrosion Protection that Lasts: Chrome Steel Finish

The chrome finish doesn’t just look sharp—it adds a layer of corrosion resistance that keeps the wheel protected from wear and weather. The sturdy steel construction with a directional design gives it extra style while standing up to long-term use in outdoor conditions.

Straightforward Fitment Every Time: 5 on 4-1/2 Pattern with 0 Offset

With its common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, 3.19" pilot diameter, and 0 offset, this wheel mounts easily and aligns right out of the box. The wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20, so matching hardware is simple when setting up your trailer or replacing existing wheels.

Ready for Highway Travel: DOT-Compliant Design

When you’re logging miles on the road, having a wheel that meets DOT specs gives peace of mind. This Americana directional wheel combines strength, balance, and consistent performance for smooth tracking and dependable handling mile after mile.

Determining Bolt Pattern

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the Steel Directional Trailer Wheel

Hello everybody, this is Jeff@ at etrailer.com. Today we take a look at this 13 inch by four and a half inch chrome, steel directional trailer wheel with the five one four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is a nice steel wheel with a directional design and when we say directional design, basically means if you look at the design of these cutouts, it looks like they're going in a direction. This is a nice stylish chrome finish. Offers corrosion resistance and it does meet the DOT Department of Transportation specifications. A few dimensions on this we're going to measure is the diameter and the width.

Now the diameter on the wheel when you measure it, will always be measured inside the inside. So if we take our tape measure and if we go inside to inside, you'll be able to see right at 13 inches for the diameter. And the width will be the same way, it's inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat. It's gonna be four and a half inches wide. Now the bolt pattern on this is a five one four and a half inch bolt pattern.

And if you want to measure that on a wheel like this that's an odd number of lugs. What you want to do is pick any one of the holes, let's say this one, and then you'll measure from the center of that starting hole to the furthest edge of either one of the holes right across from it. So you take any hole start there and then measure to either one of these holes. But when you measure it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge. So on this one, it'll measure four and a half inches.

So that's a five one four and a half inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. The pilot hole diameter which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel goes over the hub on your trailer. Diameter of that opening is three point one nine inches. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 1,660 pounds.

But that should do it for the review on the 13 inch by four and a half inch chrome steel directional trailer wheel with the five one four and a half inch bolt pattern..

The chrome finish is absolutely beautiful! The wheels are quality and the chrome finish appears thick and should last many years. Extreme shine! No scratches , bubbles, peeling , burrs etc. High quality. I purchased these to go on my Polar Kraft boat trailer. I currently have the plain white rims as I have had trouble finding the 13" chrome on steel here in Ontario. All the places sell the white or the galvanized. I found these here at E-Trailer and ordered them online. I am very happy with the entire experience. Shipping was ridiculously fast and as noted, the wheels are high quality with a very durable mirror finish and will really set off my boat trailer.The chrome finish is very easy to maintain and will greatly enhance the overall boat and trailer appearance. If you are looking for chrome, these wheels will not disappoint.



by:

Hi, Virginia! I just got my order in today and am VERY happy with the match to my existing wheel. I’m restoring an old trailer that has been a real challenge.It’s getting an upgrade on top of that. It began with 8” tires! Thank you for your most excellent support. The new wheel pattern is literally perfect! Good support is everything! I’m getting today’s shipping mounted and balanced tomorrow! The placard is the original placard from its towing frame. It’s finally getting the love it much needed.

  • Is There a 13" x 4-1/2" Chrome Trailer Wheel With a Tire Mounted For a Trailer
    The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM48VR is our only chrome 13" x 4-1/4" trailer wheel. As we do not have any tire and wheel packages with this wheel you would need to have either the 175/80R13 # AM10210 or 185/80R13 # AM10208 tire mounted at a nearby tire shop.

  • Kenda ST185/R13 D Tires With Steel Wheels
    Thanks for reaching out, Jeff! There are a few different ways to get the setup you're looking for. We do offer some pre-mounted tire and wheel combos, like part # AM3S333, which comes with a white powder-coated steel rim. If you’re after something in a silver finish, check out part # AM3S334, this one features a galvanized rim. Just a quick note about galvanized wheels: since they’re hot-dip coated, the finish can have some inconsistencies, like drips or areas where the coating appears...

  • Will The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel AM48VR Fit A Kendon 2 Bike Trailer?
    Hello Julio. The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM48VR is 13" in diameter, it is 4-1/2" wide, it has 0 offset and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. I do not know the specs for the wheels on your trailer, but as long as the wheels on your Kendon trailer match these specs, the # AM48VR wheel will be a good fit. If you need a different size wheel just let me know the specs and I am happy to make a recommendation.

  • ST175/80R13 Tire & Chrome Wheel With 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern For Trailer
    Thanks for that photo, and we do have an option for a ST175/80R13 trailer tire and wheel in chrome. From your photo it looks like you have the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, but I do highly recommend verifying this if you aren't sure. I have added links below to help articles on the simple measurement you need to take to ensure you have that bolt pattern. If so, what you can use is the following: - Steel Directional Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Chrome Finish # AM48VR -...

  • Can I Use 13 Inch Wheels on my Boat Trailer?
    Yes, the Steel Directional Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Chrome Finish Item # AM48VR you were looking at would be capable of supporting your 4500 lbs trailer. Each wheel has a 1,660 lbs capacity which would put you well over 4,500 lbs on a tandem axle trailer. I recommend the Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D item # AM10210. These tires are constructed of double steel belts and full nylon plies. They fit 13" wheels and have a maximum load capacity...

  • Recommended 13 Boat Trailer Wheel with 5 Lug Bolt Pattern
    We have all of our wheels marked under the "boat trailer" section since you can technically use any wheel for a boat trailer. The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM48VR will do okay at resisting rust but if that chrome finish ever chips any exposed steel will begin to rust, yes. Your next best option is the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20234 because it has a galvanized finish that will resist rust better than the chrome finish. The best option to resist rust and corrosion is an aluminum...

  • Availability of ST175/80R13 Load Range C Radial Tire on 13-Inch 5-on-4-1/2 Silver Mod Wheel
    The Westlake tire/wheel combination you referenced, part # LHAW165, consists of a ST175/80R13 tire on a 5-on-4-1/2 Silver Mod Wheel. While a ST185/80R13 tire will also fit on this same rim, we do not happen to offer this particular combination. The manufacturer offers the most popular combinations of wheel and tire as a pre-mounted item but not every combination is available.

  • Recommended Lug Nuts For The AM48VR Chrome Wheel On A Boat Trailer
    As long as your current lug nuts have a 60-Degree cone, like the CE Smith # CE11051, then you are definitely good to use them. This is pretty standard as well so this is most likely what you have. Just as a side note, if you have not decided on which stainless steel lug nuts to go with, I recommend the Kodiak # KALN1375S. This is a single piece instead of two, like the Lionshead # LHLR103 (as an example). I just prefer the single piece as I think they last longer and are more durable.

  • Trailer Wheel Recommendation for 13 By 4.5 Wheel
    When it comes to a trailer wheel that is 13 x 4.5 inches that has rivets and a bore size of 3.25 inches we won't be to match it up to what stock we have. The closest wheel we will have for you is The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Chrome Finish # AM48VR. It has a capacity of 1,660 pounds and has a wheel bolt size of 1/2 inch-20. I have attach a review video link below.

  • Does the Americana Steel Directional Trailer Wheel 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 Come w/ a Tire?
    No, I am sorry it is not. The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel item # AM48VR is not available in a wheel tire combo. I recommend adding the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire item # AM10210. This is a load range D tire with a capacity of 1,650 lbs at 70 psi and a max speed of 81 mph.
