When you’re hauling a loaded trailer, you want a wheel that won’t flinch under pressure. The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel handles up to 2,200 lbs, with a 0 offset for balanced load distribution across the hub. Its sturdy steel construction meets Department of Transportation standards, giving you confidence that it’s built for real road use.
Road grime and moisture can take their toll on metal wheels, but this one’s ready for it. The silver powder coat finish is laid over an e-coat primer for excellent corrosion resistance. It keeps its shine through exposure to humidity and road spray, so your trailer stays looking sharp season after season.
This wheel is easy to match to most standard hubs thanks to its 14-inch diameter, 5-1/2-inch width, and common 5 on 4-1/2” bolt pattern. It uses standard 1/2"-20 wheel bolts and has a 3.19" pilot diameter for a secure, centered fit. That straightforward sizing eliminates guesswork when it’s time to replace or refresh your setup.
Every component is designed with stability and dependability in mind. The modular steel design gives consistent strength around the rim for a steady ride at highway speeds, while the precision machining ensures the wheel seats correctly against your hub. It’s a simple, durable choice that performs well every time you tow.
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're gonna take a look at the Dexstar 14-inch by 5-1/2-inch silver modular steel trailer wheel, the five on 4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Now this wheel's a sturdy steel construction. We mentioned it's the modular design. When we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. This wheel has excellent corrosion resistance 'cause it uses a two-step finishing process, which will first include an E-coat primer and then a silver powder coat finish over that.
It is a high-quality wheel, meets the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications. And if you notice the center cap is not included, we do sell those separately. If you need one, when you do get a center cap, you need to make sure you get one that has the same diameter as this pilot hole. 'Cause when you install it, it'll go through this hole. Diameter of this pilot hole is 3.19-inches.
Now this wheel is made by Dexstar, which means it's made in the USA. I wanna give you a few measurements on this. We're gonna measure the diameter and the width. And when you measure the diameter, what you're measuring is actually gonna be inside to inside 'cause you're measuring where the tire beads are. So when you put a tire on here, the beads will seat right here.
So you're gonna measure from one tire bead to the other tire bead, inside to inside. So if we put a tape measure, you can see there's your 14-inch diameter, and if we do the width, it'd be the same way. Bead seat to bead seat or inside to inside. And there's your 5-1/2-inch wide. Now the bolt pattern on this is a five on 4-1/2-inch.
If you wanna measure that on a wheel, that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, five. What you have to do is just pick out one of the holes, let's say this one, and measure across to either one of these holes. But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge that you measure to. So on this one, if we measured, it'd be 4-1/2-inches. So it's a five lug, 4-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of 1/2-inch by 20, and the weight capacity on this is 2,200 pounds. But that should do it for a look up the Dexstar 14-inch by 5-1/2-inch silver modular steel trailer wheel with the five on 4-1/2-inch bolt pattern.
