When you’re hauling serious weight, this wheel is designed to handle it. The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel has a 3,520-lb capacity and a sturdy 16" x 6" steel rim that meets Department of Transportation standards. Its zero offset design helps distribute vertical load evenly, giving the stability and strength needed for loaded trailers on long drives.
Rust and corrosion don’t get a foothold here. The wheel’s black powder coat finish is applied over an e-coat primer, creating a tough barrier that stands up to moisture and road grime. It’s the kind of finish that stays looking sharp while extending the life of the wheel in humid or wet environments.
This wheel uses a common 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern with a 4.27" pilot diameter and zero offset, so it lines up easily with compatible hubs. Wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20 for simple mounting. The modular design also makes it easy to match visually with other wheels while keeping everything balanced.
Whether you’re running standard or heavy-ply tires, this wheel keeps up. It doesn’t have a maximum pressure rating of its own—the limiting factor is the tire and valve stem you use. Valve stem is sold separately. With the right stem, it can handle setups rated up to 110 psi without issue, giving flexibility across different tire types and load needs.
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 take a look at this Dexstar 16 inch by six inch black modular steel trailer wheel with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this wheel is a sturdy steel construction. We mentioned it is a modular design and when we say modular design, that's the one that has these round holes all the way around the wheel. This wheel offers excellent corrosion resistance, 'cause they use a two step finishing process, which first includes an eco primer on it and then a black powder coat finish over it. It is a high quality wheel, does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications.
Now, if you notice, it does not include a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell them separate on our website. You do wanna make sure to get one that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole, 'cause when you install your center cap, it would go through this hole. The diameter on the pilot hole is 4.27 inches. This wheel is made by Dexstar, which is made in the USA.
A few dimensions on this we're gonna measure is the diameter and the width. And when you do the diameter, what you're gonna measure is basically inside the inside. And the reason you're doing that is you're measuring the tire. In other words, the tire beads will get a seat right here. So when the tire seats on this, you're measuring the diameter as the inside and inside.
So if we take our tape measure, if we go inside to inside, there's your 16 inch of the diameter. The width is gonna be the same way, bead seat to bead seat, so inside to inside, six inches wide. Now this wheel does have a bolt pattern of six on five and a half inches. And if you wanted to measure that on a wheel, it's an even number of lugs, in this case, six. It's pretty easy, because if you notice the lug holes are directly across from each other.
So when you go to measure it, pick any hole. Let's say this one, measure from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So it'll measure five and a half inches. So this wheel would be a six lug, five and a half inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity on this wheel is 3,520 pounds. But that should do it for a look at this Dexstar 16 inch by six inch black modular steel trailer wheel with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern.

One year later we are still enjoying the quality and piece of mind these wheels have delivered Along with the Michelin tires, we have yet to have any failures at all. 3500 mile trip to Fort Worth and back...no problems. The Dexstar wheels not only are performing perfectly, they still have a factory-fresh appearance due to in my opinion quality construction and quality finishing. They still look new! These wheels are the best and they allow us to use the best tires. Very pleased with the Dexstar wheel.

These wheels have been working out well. With them I was able to go from 15 tires, that barely met the load requirement for my toyhauler to 16 tires with a higher load rating. Unfortunately, it appears that e-trailer has yet to include the valve stem hole diameter in their description. I think it would be helpful to buyers if this was a standard part of the specs for any wheel sold by e-trailer.

Rims are still great after a year. Paint still looks good. I’ve had them off and back on a few times. Still holding up as you would expect them to.

Sorry to hear about the cosmetic damage to your wheels. They will definitely need touched up with paint to avoid rust. Customer Service will reach out to you.

That's a good idea, RJ! I don't know how long it would take to arrange for the pop-up, but we could make it more clear that the valve stem isn't included. I'll make sure that happens.
