This 16" x 6" Dexstar Steel Mini Mod trailer wheel is built for serious hauling. With a 3,750-lb capacity and a maximum air pressure rating of 110 psi, it’s ready for heavy-duty towing setups that demand strength and stability. The zero offset keeps weight balanced across the hub for predictable tracking and even wear mile after mile.
If your trailer spends time in the elements, this wheel’s two-step finish is what keeps it looking good. It starts with an e-coat primer and finishes with a black powder coat that seals out moisture and road grime. The steel modular design adds durability while resisting rust and chips from daily use or highway travel.
Fitment doesn’t get much easier. The wheel uses the common 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and a 4.9" pilot diameter, pairing cleanly with standard trailer hubs that match those specs. It’s lug centric, so use standard trailer lug nuts like the CE Smith # CE11051 for secure mounting and even clamping force.
Every Dexstar Steel Mini Mod wheel meets Department of Transportation standards for strength and safety. That means it’s built to perform reliably at highway speeds under real towing conditions. Whether you’re pulling long distances or making local hauls, it’s a solid choice for consistent, confident performance trip after trip.
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 16-inch by 6-inch black modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Now this wheel is a sturdy steel construction. It is the modular design, and 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 they use a two-step finishing process, which will include first an E-coat primer, and then a black powder coat finish over it. This is a high-quality wheel, does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications.
Now if you notice, this wheel does not come with a center cap. 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. The diameter on this pilot hole is 4.9-inches.
This wheel is made in the USA. I do wanna give you a few measurements. We're gonna measure the diameter, which is measured inside the inside this way, and in the width of the wheel. And when we measure the diameter, I mentioned it's measured from bead seat to bead seat, so that's inside to inside. So again, we'll put a tape measure on that.
You can see there's your 16-inch diameter. The width is gonna be the same way. It's bead seat to bead seat. So inside to inside right at 6-inches wide. And we mentioned the width bolt pattern on this wheel is a eight on 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern.
And if you wanna measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs. Like in this case, eight. It's pretty easy because if you look at the lug holes, they're directly across from each other. So all you have to do is pick one of the holes. Let's say we pick this one, and then you measure across from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole. Right across from it. On this wheel, it'll measure 6-1/2-inches. So it's an eight lug, 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of either 1/2-inch by 20 or 9/16 by 18. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 3,750 pounds. But that's gonna do it for a look at this Dexstar 16-inch by 6-inch black modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on 6-1/2-inch bolt pattern.
