When you’re towing heavy gear and want a wheel you can trust, this 14" x 5-1/2" steel wheel shows up ready for the job. It’s rated for 1,870 lbs and meets Department of Transportation standards, so you know it’s built to handle serious weight. The strong steel construction gives it the backbone to stay true under load without flex or fatigue.
Salt, rain, and road grime can take down a lesser wheel fast. The blue powder-coated finish on this one locks out moisture and resists corrosion for long-term durability. It keeps its color and protection even when exposed to harsh conditions, so you get a clean look that stays that way season after season.
Getting the right fit shouldn’t be complicated. This wheel uses a common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with a pilot diameter of 3.19" and a 0 offset, making setup simple and precise. Wheel bolt size is 1/2"-20, so it pairs easily with standard hardware while keeping everything properly centered and balanced.
If you like the clean look of traditional trailer wheels, this conventional design nails it. It also pairs perfectly with baby moon trailer hubcaps like the Americana #AM90086 that fit 5-lug conventional wheels in 13", 14", or 15" sizes, giving you that polished finish without overcomplicating things.
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"

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at this Dexstar blue steel conventional trailer wheel. Now this sturdy steel wheel is made here in the USA. (steel clanging) And as you can see, it features this dark blue finish with a conventional design. And hopefully you can see, I know it's a little bit dark with this finish, but inside the center here of this wheel, we do have this ring with these nubs here that's going to allow you to pop a cap over that, over the center there.
And this does meet DOT specifications. And this wheel's gonna have excellent corrosion resistance with this dark blue finish. Now lemme go ahead and get my tape measure here and give you some measurements. So, looking at the diameter, and I am measuring bead seat to bead seat, so where the tire is actually going to meet the wheel. So measuring that bead seat to bead seat, as you can see, we are sitting at 14 inches in diameter.
And then again, measuring bead seat to bead seat, so that's gonna be from here to here where that tire is going to sit in there, we are sitting right at 5 1/2 inches, so 14 inches in diameter, 5 1/2 inches wide. Our pilot diameter is 3.19 inches. And on our bolt pattern, this is a five on 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which those bolt holes sit.
So, to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, as we have here, you're simply going to measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. The wheel stud size is 1/2 an inch by 20. This wheel has a capacity of 1,870 pounds. So, if you are looking for a conventional trailer wheel with this dark blue finish, this is going to be a great wheel to consider that meets the capacity and the bolt pattern and the size that you're looking for. Well, I think that's going to wrap up our brief look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thanks for joining me.
Ratings & Reviews
These wheels are great but be sure to budget for special stems if you are runnung higher pressures. Talk to the MFGR to better understand the issue.
Exactly what I wanted. Purchased for spare trailer tire
Order 2 for a 4 wheel cattle/horse trailer. Quality wheel, so ordered 2 more. Easy smooth transaction. Website made it easy to find what I needed and was the only retailer after searching several hours, that carried my size. Fast Shipping! Quality product "made in USA" and quality service also made in USA. Thanks to all those who made this a great purchase from etrailer !
great prices. Even better customer serv ice!!
They arrived fast and very well packaged. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from etrailer again!
Fit and finish on these wheels is exactly what I was looking for. Very much an upgrade from my old wheels.
Heavy weight, well finished, good paint. 3.65" center, which fits older hubs and is now hard to find.
The cost was the cheapest I found, yet the quality of the product was outstanding. I was surprised to find the shipping was free, which made this purchase and excellent deal from all aspects. I will look for more great deals with etrailer.com.
I wish they came in more colors but they are a good heavy wheel and the only six bolt with the right centerbore circumference that fit my trailer, that I could find on the internet, so glad for that thank you
I ordered these to replace my older wheels on a 1961 Airstream that were not keeping a good seal against the tire due to internal rust. These perfectly matched the wheels that I replaced, it was like stepping back in time! The powder coat finish is nice, shiny, and smooth, and my original chrome 10-1/2" hub caps snapped on the wheel just like they should. The Airstream is happy to be looking good and holding pressure like new again!!
Give me if I purchased was a perfect exact match and it was sent to me very quickly and that is the only place I'm buying trailers from or trailer parts from now, I received a very good service with no confusion and very competitive pricing.
Over 10000 miles and still good
Bought to mount a spare so not much to tell since it hasn't been used
I don’t understand why you would ask me to write a review and then proceed to tell me how to write it but I did receive the wheels today which was faster than expected l pulled one of them out of the box and it looks like the wheels I ordered so that was good and I plan on putting them on an old junker pick up.
Delivered on time as communicated
Product looks exceptionally well made, and fast delivery
I replaced all 4 split rims on my 63 Airstream with these. They are a perfect replacement and they even fit the cone shaped metal hub caps. Look and preform wonderfully.
Great price and fast shipping.
Planning to use these on my 1968 C10 6 lug truck. Using some 215/85 16 tires
The wheels hold the later model Chevy hubcaps perfectly (73+?)
After searching for steel wheels with vintage style caps, I purchased these wheels after speaking with the customer support people, that assured me the caps would fit and these would fit my Airstream, I bought these along with the Cone style caps, I had them powder coated the color we wanted, they turned out great, and great customer service.
After searching for replacement 16” wheels for my 1946 Truck for years, I heard about your company. These wheels allow me to run modern radial tires that look just right without being 8-12” wide. Highly recommend for the old car hobby.
Rims came in on time and they look great
I can’t say enough good things about Etrailer!!
They are by far the best company I have ever bought anything from. Good products fast shipping.
The rims were delivered to Airstream and installed. They look great. Baby Moon hubcaps finished it out.
Nice wheel with shiny black paint. The trailer wheel fit my 1955 Chevy pick up truck nicely.
