This 12" x 4" Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel handles the weight and demands of frequent towing. Rated for up to 1,250 lbs and meeting Department of Transportation specifications, it’s designed for consistent performance under load. The zero offset helps the wheel carry vertical weight evenly across the hub, giving you a confident setup for daily use or longer trips.
You can count on this powder-coated steel wheel to look good and stay that way. The white powder coat finish is baked over an e-coat primer that shields the metal from moisture and road debris. It’s a straightforward design that resists rust and keeps its finish season after season.
The sturdy modular steel construction gives the wheel both strength and balance. It’s built to handle the flex and stress of highway speeds while maintaining a smooth ride feel. Each wheel is precisely made to meet DOT standards, so you know it’s been tested for the conditions real haulers face.
The Dexstar Mini Mod makes matching your hub setup simple with a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and standard 1/2"-20 wheel bolts. A zero offset centers the load right over the bearings, and the 3.19" pilot diameter provides straightforward compatibility with standard hub sizes. It’s a clean fit with no guesswork needed.
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"

Today we're going to take a look at the Dexstar twelve inch by four inch white mini mod steel trailer wheel, with the five on four and half inch bolt pattern. This wheel is a sturdy steel construction, has a nice white powder coat finish over an e coat primer on the front and the back of the wheel. It gives you excellent corrosion resistance. This wheel is a modular design, or a mini mod design. Basically what that means, it's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. This is a high quality wheel. It does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation's specifications.
This wheel is made by Dexstar. Dexstar is made in the USA. The few specs on this, we're going to measure the wheel. The diameter is twelve inches, which is measured inside to inside. If I take a tape measure, and if we go inside to inside, you can see right at twelve inch diameter the width is the same way inside to inside where the tire beads would seat.
Inside to inside is four inches, so twelve inches by four inches. This wheel does have a bolt pattern of five on four and a half inches, and if you go to measurable pattern on a wheel like this that's an odd number of lugs, in this case five, what you do is pick one of the holes. Let's say this one. Then you'll measure across to either one of these holes. The trick is when you measure it, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of the hole that you measure to. If we go here to here, if we put a tape measure, I'll show you that center to outer edge, there we go, you can see is right at four and a half inches, so five on four and half inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by twenty.
Pilot hole diameter, it's the large hole here in the center of the wheel. It goes over the hub of your trailer. The diameter of that opening is going to be right at three point one nine inches. The weight capacity on the wheel is one thousand two hundred fifty pounds. That should do it on the review on the Dexstar twelve inch by four inch white mini mod steel trailer wheel, with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern..

I have been using this rim on my boat trailer for almost a year and absolutely zero problems. The paint has held up and no leaks.
