Features to know about

Built for Strength and Peace of Mind: 2,200-lb Load Rating with DOT Approval

This wheel is built tough for real towing. The 15" x 5" aluminum rim carries a 2,200-lb load rating and meets DOT specifications, so you can count on it to handle heavy loads with confidence. The steel inserts in the lug nut wells keep the wheel securely in place and prevent wear over time, so you aren’t constantly retightening lugs after every trip.

Corrosion Protection That Lasts: Matte Black Aluminum with Clear Coat

No one wants to see rust creeping in after a season of use. This matte black aluminum wheel is rustproof and finished with a clear coat on both sides to fend off scuffs and scratches. It’s built to look good for the long haul, with a design that stays clean and sharp no matter what kind of weather or road grime it faces.

Clean Design That Elevates Your Setup: Open-Spoke Matte Black Machined Face

The open-spoke design gives your setup a fresh, modern look while keeping the wheel lightweight and easy to clean. The machined face stands out just enough against the matte black finish to add detail without being flashy. It’s a simple upgrade that instantly makes the whole rig look newer and more dialed-in.

Easy Fitment Confidence: 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern, 0 Offset, 3.19" Pilot Hole

Getting the right fit matters, and this wheel makes it straightforward. It uses a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, has a 0 offset, and a 3.19" pilot hole diameter for reliable alignment on compatible hubs. Wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20, giving you solid engagement and proper torque every time you mount it up.

Optional Style Add-On: Compatible Center Caps

If you like a clean finished look, this wheel pairs nicely with the Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap item # AM90175 for stainless or item # CXF106B for black. The black cap lines up perfectly with the matte finish and adds that last touch of polish without overdoing it.

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 Detailed Breakdown of the Aluminum AM03 Series Matte Black Machined Trailer Wheel

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Americana 15-inch by five-inch AM03 Series, matte black machined aluminum trailer wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this aluminum wheel, it's very durable, lightweight and rustproof. As we mentioned, it's an AM03 Series wheel, which, as you can see, is a five open spoke design in a matte black finish. But if you notice around the openings of the five spokes, they do have a machine silver face, provides a nice, bold, sweet look. And as I mentioned, the black on this is a matte black finish.

They do use a clear coating on both the front and even the back of the wheel to protect the finish. A few dimensions on this wheel, the diameter is 15 inches, which is always measured inside the inside. So if we take a tape measure and we put it on that measurement, you'll see there's your 15-inch diameter. The width is also measured inside the inside, or bead seat to bead seat. So if we do that, you can see there's your five inch width.

Now the bolt pattern on this wheel is a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel, that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, five. What you'll do is pick any one of the holes, let's say this one, and then you're gonna measure straight across to either one of these holes. But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whatever hole you measure to. So if you start here, center of this hole, furthest edge of this hole, it's gonna measure four and a half inches.

So this is a 5 on 4 and a half inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. Weight capacity on this is 2,200 pounds. Now one of the nice features I like on this wheel is the steel inserts right here in these lug nut wells. That's where you'll put your lug nuts and tighten them down to hold the wheel to your trailer.

The steel inserts in here help keep the wheel securely in place on the trailer hub, prevents any elongating of the hole, keeps it from wearing down, plus it 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 if you prefer to have one. What you wanna do is when you buy the center cap, you do wanna make sure it has the same diameter as this pilot hole right here that the cap goes through. Diameter on this hole is 3.19 inches. Now this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and the SAEJ 25 30 standards. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Americana 15 inch by five inch AM03 Series, matte black machined aluminum trailer wheel.

Haven’t used the wheels yet. I need lug nuts for these though

I was impressed with how quick the shipping was. Arrived in 2 days. Wheels were packaged well. I will be ordering from etrailer in the future.



by:

Good product excellent customer service



by:

I have been happy with the quality of the products we have bought in the past, and have not had any issues.
This latest order has a few problems. one of the rims has been damaged along the edge, it is small and will not effect the bead sealing it is just a eye sore. I cannot wait to get a replacement I have already mounted the tire and installed it on a trailer. Three of the center caps are damaged and not useable. Again i could not wait for replacements since I am leaving with this trailer in 2 days to go out of state. I found the same center caps and purchased them at a local trailer place so I could keep things moving.

The rim is what it is, however I would like you to refund me the cost of the center caps.



by:

They were just what I was looking for! They look great and shipping was fast too!



by:

Very friendly and knowledgeable . Very good product and fast shipping. Like the notification when packages ready to ship and when they arrive. Will buy from them again and tell all my friends . RIMS LOOKS GOOD ON MY 5TH RV



by:

Wheels are very close in pattern to the stock Ford Tremor wheels. Much better look on the trailer



by:

I ordered 7 of these wheels. This is an exceptional wheel from Kenda USA. I really appreciate the steel inserts for the lug nuts. They definitely aid in keeping the lug nut torqued to spec. All the wheels came properly packaged and were a great price. One wheel came with an imperfection/damage and the manufacture was prompt to rectify immediately after I sent a video and pictures. I rate this wheel an A++ not to mention they look amazing. Thank you etrailer and Kenda.



by:

Wanted a more modern look and these wheels are beautiful on my enclosed trailer.



by:

Had these delivered and installed on our horse trailer. They look great. There were a couple scuffs from shipping but as this is a horse trailer I was not too concerned. They look great on the trailer.

Great looking wheels and super customer service



by:

The rims are fantastic, however the packaging is horrible. These rims apparently bounced back and forth in the box the entire time during shipping.



by:

These aluminum wheels feel a lot more secure when torquing the lug nuts than the white steelies they replaced. Also look much better.



by:

Look really nice. Used them to replace 14” wheels on the camper so I could put heavy duty tires on.

  • Comparing The Americana AM03 Series # AM88NR And # AM53NR Trailer Wheels
    Hey Eric, The only difference between the Americana AM03 Series # AM88NR and # AM53NR is simply the paint finish. The # AM88NR is a gloss finish and the # AM53NR is a matte finish. I've attached some photos below of the wheels that I took from our warehouse to give you a better idea. Is there a specific look you're wanting for your trailer?

  • Recommended Center Cap for a Aluminum AM03 Series Matte Black 15" x 5" Rim
    We sure do Matt! To add a center cap to the Aluminum AM03 Series Matte Black Machined Trailer Wheel item # AM53NR you can use the Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap item # AM90175 for stainless or item # CXF106B for black. I recommend going with the black item # CXF106B. It's got the Taskmaster logo in the center and if you're a brand snob like me this may bother you but I think it's worth it. We actually had a customer send in a pic of this combo. I attached it below so you can see for...

  • Should I Count Amount of Turns of Lug Nuts When Installing Trailer Wheels
    Hey Troy, I wouldn't worry about the amount of turns you get on the wrench when installing your wheels. As long as the torque spec is met that's all that really matters when installing wheels like the # AM53NR that you referenced.
