Video Transcript for Review of Americana Trailer Tires and Wheels - Wheel Only - KE63TJ

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer. Today we're gonna take a look at the Americana 14 inch by 5 1/2 inch AM09 Series satin black aluminum trailer wheel with the 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now I like some steel wheels. This one won't rust or peel. This is an aluminum wheel.

Helps keep the weight low and the look intact even after miles on the road. So it's one less thing you need to worry about if your trailer sits outside or sees regular use. We mentioned the design on it. It is an AM09 Series, which you can see is a 10-spoke design. Has a nice satin black finish on the front and even on the back.

Also uses a clear coating on both the front and the back to protect the finish. Few dimensions on this, we're gonna measure for you. We'll first start with the diameter. Diameter is 14 inches. That's always measured on the inside bead seat to bead seat.

So if we get a tape measure, and if we go all the way across, you will see there's your 14-inch diameter. And if we do the width, same way, it's inside the inside, or bead seat to bead seat. So it's 5 1/2 inches wide. Now a bolt pattern on those wheels, a 5 on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure the bolt pattern on a wheel that's an odd number of lugs, in this case, five, what you have to do is pick any hole, let's say, this one, and you're gonna measure, and measure across to either one of these holes right across from it.

So if you start with the center and you'll scope from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of the hole that you measure to. So on this one, if we measure be 4 1/2, so that's a five-lug, 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Pilot hole diameter, which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel, this measures 3.19 inches. And the thing I do wanna mention is if you notice, it does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separate on our website. You do wanna make sure just to get one that'll have the same diameter as the pilot hole, which is 3.19 inches, 'cause your center cap is gonna go through this hole. Wheel lug size, it used 1/2 inch by 20. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,200 pounds. Now this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications and the SAE J2530 standards. But that's gonna do it for a look at this Americana 14 inch by 5 1/2 inch AM09 Series satin black aluminum trail wheel.
