When your trailer’s loaded up, you want a wheel that can handle it without breaking a sweat. The Aluminum AM03 Series Gunmetal Gray Machined Trailer Wheel is rated for 1,740 lbs and meets DOT specifications, which means it’s built for real-world hauling strength. Its durable aluminum construction keeps weight down—just 13 lbs—while staying tough enough for long trips and frequent towing.
There’s nothing worse than having to constantly re-tighten lug nuts after every tow. This wheel solves that with steel inserts built right into the lug nut wells. They prevent wear and help keep the wheel securely seated on the hub. That’s extra peace of mind mile after mile, no matter how often you’re on the road.
Corrosion can ruin a good wheel fast, especially if it sits outside. This one’s made from rustproof aluminum with a clear coat on both sides to protect against scuffs and scratches. The gunmetal gray finish with a machined face gives it a clean, high-end look that holds up over time and keeps your setup looking fresh.
Getting the right fit shouldn’t be complicated. This wheel measures 13" in diameter by 4-1/2" wide, has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, a 3.19" pilot diameter, and uses 1/2"-20 wheel bolts with a 0 offset. It’s sized right for standard 13" trailer tires and works seamlessly with acorn-style lug nuts that have a 60° cone seat like the #12CLN.
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'll take a look at this Americana 13 inch by four and a half inch wide AM03 Series Gunmetal Gray Machined Aluminum Trailer Wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is an aluminum wheel. It's very durable, lightweight and rustproof. As we mentioned, this is an AM03 Series wheel, which is a five open spoke design in a gunmetal grey finish. And if you look around the openings, the five spoke, open spoke here, you'll see they have a machined silver face all around the spoke.
Provides a nice, bold, sleek look. A gunmetal grey finish on the wheel is a glossy finish. Does also have a clear coating on both the front (wheel scrapes) and even on the back of the wheel to protect the finish. (wheel scrapes) A few dimensions on this wheel. We mentioned the diameter, which is 13 inches, is always measured inside to inside.
Just to show what we're talking about, if I put a tape measure, you'll be able to see there's your 13 inch diameter. (measuring tape clicks) The width is also measured inside to inside, or bead seat to bead seat. And you can see there's your four and a half inch measurement for that. (measuring tape clucks) 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 bolt pattern that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, five, it's pretty easy.
It's not like the even lugs where they're right across from each other. But all you have to do on an odd number of lugs is pick any hole, let's say this lug hole right here. And then when you measure, it's gonna be measured to either this hole or this hole. But the trick is when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whichever hole you measure to. So if you measure from the center here to the starting edge, or the furthest edge, it's gonna be four and a half inches.
So the bolt pattern on this is five lug, four and a half inch bolt pattern. (wheel scrapes) The wheel lug size this uses is a half inch by 20. Weight capacity on this wheel is 1,740 pounds. And one nice feature I like about this wheel is right where the lugs go, in the lug nut wells here, you might notice they use steel inserts in those lug nut wells and they help to keep the wheel securely in place on the trailer hub. Helps prevent the holes from elongating or wearing down and it helps eliminate the need for constant re tightening of your lug nuts. If you notice the wheels cannot, does not come with a center cap. We do sell those separately if you prefer to have one. The, when you buy your center cap, you do wanna make sure it has the same diameter as this pilot hole in the wheel 'cause that's where your center cap will install. Diameter on this one is 3.19 inches. This wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications and the SAE J2530 standards. But that should do it for the review of this Americana 13 inch by four and a half inch wide (wheel scrapes) AM03 Series Gunmetal Grey Machined Aluminum Trailer Wheel.

Great product and FAST shipping. Customer support was great and they stand behind their products
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.
These aluminum wheels feel a lot more secure when torquing the lug nuts than the white steelies they replaced. Also look much better.
Look really nice. Used them to replace 14” wheels on the camper so I could put heavy duty tires on.
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.
They were just what I was looking for! They look great and shipping was fast too!
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
Wheels are very close in pattern to the stock Ford Tremor wheels. Much better look on the trailer
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.
Wanted a more modern look and these wheels are beautiful on my enclosed trailer.
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.
