When you’re hauling serious weight, strength matters. The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel is rated for 2,200 lbs and built from durable steel with a sturdy modular design. Its 15" diameter and 6" width give it solid load-handling capability for a wide range of towing setups. It’s built to meet DOT standards, so you can count on dependable performance when the trailer’s loaded up and rolling down the highway.
Salt, water, and grime are no match for this wheel’s finish. Dexstar uses a 2-step coating process—an e-coat primer followed by a black powder coat—to keep rust at bay and the surface smooth over time. Even after repeated trips through wet conditions or long stretches on the road, the wheel keeps its deep black look and resists corrosion where lesser finishes would start to fail.
Getting the right fit shouldn’t take guesswork. This wheel uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and a precise 3.19" pilot diameter for easy alignment on most hubs that match those specs. The zero offset helps keep load distribution even across the axle, and it’s designed for standard 1/2"-20 wheel bolts so installation is simple and consistent.
The 6" wide rim accommodates several common trailer tire sizes including ST205/75R15, 215/75R15, and 225/75R15, giving you flexibility when matching new tires or spares. Whether you’re setting it up for light-duty runs or heavier cargo hauls, this makes it easy to choose reliable tires that fit snugly and perform well with the wheel’s zero-offset design.
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 this Dexstar 15 inch by six inch Black Modular Steel Trailer Wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this wheel is a sturdy steel construction. And we mentioned, it as a modular design. And when we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes that go all the way around the wheel.
This wheel does have excellent corrosion resistance. It uses a two step finishing process, which will include first an eco primer, and then the black powder coat finish over the wheel. It is a high quality wheel. It does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications. Now, if you notice the center cap is not included.
If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that has the same diameter as this pilot hole. 'Cause when you install your center cap, it'll go through this hole. Pilot hole diameter right here is 3.19 inches. This wheel is made in the USA.
A few measurements on, we're gonna measure the diameter and the width. And when you measure the diameter on a wheel, you're gonna be measuring inside to inside. Basically when a tire is put on the beadle seat right here, so what you're measuring is from bead seat to bead seat. So if we take our tape measure, and if we go inside to inside, there's your 15 inch diameter. And if we go to the width same way, bead seat to bead seat, so inside to inside, right at six inches wide.
Now the bolt pattern on the wheel is a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure that on a wheel that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, five, what you'll need to do is pick one of the holes, let's say this hole, and you'll 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 of the hole that you measure to. So on this, it'll measure four and a half inches. So it's a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. The wheel lug size, this uses a half inch by 20. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,200 pounds. But that should do it for a look at the Dexstar 15 inch by six inch Black Modular Steel Trailer Wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern.

Great product arrived before expected, boxed up pretty good. They have a nice finish that still looks good after a year. This is a picture after installed but still look like new.
This is a basic trailer wheel, but, for me, the difference with etrailer is the service. Price is great on these wheels, as they are powder coated. Only complaint it the packaging. Two wheels were packed in one box each with a layer of cardboard stapled to the box. That doesn’t work. The wheels had banged against each other in both boxes. Fortunately, no damage resulted.
Replaced my travel trailer wheels that bent on a pothole. These are made in the USA like my Goodyear Endurance I put on them.
Fast delivery, great service. They have a great paint finish as well. Still look nice on the camper.
I'll be ordering suspension next. Quality all the way.

So I have about 2000 towing miles on this set up. This was the end of my problems. I am currently on an 1800 mile road trip from NY to NM. No issues. It is such a difference to upgrade tire, rims, and suspension. I can tow at 70mph in calm winds and not worry about it anymore. Highly recommend
They worked out perfectly. They look very nice on the trailer.
I'll let the photos tell the story. Grand Design Imagine 2800bh with 4000lb leaf springs to replace the 3500lb. Goodyear Endurance E-rated tires and Moryde CRE 3000, new steel wheels. Suspension solved. You folks deliver again. Correct order within 2 days always.Thank you.
Great product great prompt delivery
the exact same wheel I needed for my RV trailer spare - excellent quality and fast shipping
Etrailer came through in my search for rims! I raised my flat deck ATV trailer from 13" to 15" tires and searched for basic rims.
Etrailer was the only affordable rims I could find. I had to finagle shipping to Alaska to cut costs.
I'm not adding pictures as they are just basic black rims, but I couldn't be more pleased. Having 15" wheels & tires over those 13" wheels is a relief!

Ive been very pleased with the purchase. While these were the basic black rim that went on a flatbed utility trailer, the ability to move from a 13 tire to 15 tire was why I needed. No more undependable small tires! Thank you!
Fantastic product. Finish is glossy, smooth, and durable. Was happy to find a quality, US-made product at a great price price.
I really liked these wheels because they are 6” wide. Plus they look hood on my black trailer
Exactly what we wanted for our camper. Super quick delivery! Highly recommend etrailer.com.
Wanted to upgrade our camper wheels by adding 1" of width over the factory 5" wheels. These wheels have perform beyond my expectations.

Adding the extra 1” width makes the camper pull like a dream. Glad I made the decision to make this upgrade
Good packing , nice rims for what we ne eded
Product arrived just as described. Emily's help with purchasing, and ensuring I had the right product, was amazing!!! Thank you.
Overall they are great, however a couple of the wheels are scratched. Not a big deal for a trailer wheel. Don’t know if it was from shipping or prior to, however the boxes didn’t appear to be damaged.
Better then I expected and very fast sh ipping.
One of the wheels had a manufactured cosmetic defect. I would've given a 5 star. It's a gouge in the steel. Also online in the video it shows the inside of wheels being powder coated but these are not.

The finish on wheels are holding up great. Good value replacement for the China made aluminum junk that came on the rv.
USA made, awesome price, fast shipping. Really happy with the wheels, 1 year later they still look like new. Trailer had 14" wheels before that looked too small with the axle flip so I went with 15s.
It was a very smooth transaction and my wheels came on time. My only suggestion is better packaging although the box is great made with thick cardboard and stapled Both my wheels have chips in them from shipping. I would suggest more packaging inside the box to protect the wheels better. Other than that great product.
I had ordered 4 new wheels.
I wondered how they would be shipped and if they would they arrive in good shape?
I was really amazed at how well they were boxed, and they arrived perfect.
Thank you for such a great job boxing them up so nicely.
Always great selection and fast shippin g.

1 year, no issues at all. I am happy ??
Taylor was amazingly helpful helping me find the right wheels for my new used trailor..Top shelf company fast shipping and package well to avoid damage very satisfied....
Excellent service!!! I use etrailer for most all my trailer needs. I haven't unpacked the wheels yet, I am sure they are just what I ordered.These are replacing some 5" wheels on my overlanding trailer build. I am installing larger offroad tires on it and they require a 6" wheel

The wheels are a very close match to the Mamoths on my Jeep. You have to look very closely to tell they are two different wheels. I have no complaints with the wheels. The 23575R15 offroad trailer tires mounted and balanced without issue. I would buy these again if needed
This is wheel #6 for my 19 foot travel trailer. Upgraded to 15” wheels and tires for a trip up the ALCAN to Alaska. I am sure they will make a big difference, especially with the e-series tires mounted on them.
Dexstar is the only steel wheel I will buy. High quality finish, reliable quality, reliable durability.
