When you’re hauling something with real weight behind it, this 12" x 4" Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel holds up. It’s rated for 1,250 lbs and built from solid steel with a 0 offset for balanced strength under load. The 4 on 4" bolt pattern and 1/2"-20 wheel bolts make it a dependable match for setups that need confidence on the road.
You don’t have to worry about corrosion eating away at your wheels. The two-step finish process uses an e-coat primer under a black powder coat that seals out moisture and road grime. It keeps its clean look while resisting rust, even in tough conditions.
Getting a wheel that fits right matters, and this one’s designed for easy alignment. The Dexstar wheel uses a standard 4 on 4" bolt pattern and a 2.84" pilot diameter, so it centers easily on lug-centric hubs. That means less hassle during install and a secure fit you can count on.
This wheel meets DOT standards, so it’s built for real highway use—not just short local runs. The sturdy modular steel design provides lasting durability across miles of towing, whether you’re rolling through city streets or heading out for longer hauls.
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 12 inch by 4 inch black modular steel trailer wheel with the four-on-four inch bolt pattern. Now, this wheel's a sturdy steel construction. You can see how there's a modular design and when we say modular design, that's the one that'll have these round holes all the way around the wheel. This does have a nice black powder coat finish over an e-coat primer so it gives it excellent corrosion resistance. This wheel is a high-quality wheel.
It 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. You just wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter of this pilot hole here which on this wheel is 2.84 inches. Now, this part is made in the USA.
Give you a few measurements on this. The diameter of the wheel, which will be measured inside to inside, it's gonna be 12 inches. So just to show you, if we put a tape measure on that and you can see inside to inside 12 inch diameter. And if we do the width, same way, bead seat to bead seat or inside to inside, right at four inches. Now, the bolt pattern on this wheel is a four-on-four inch bolt pattern.
And if you want to measure that on a wheel like this, that's an even number of lugs, what you'll do is just pick any one of these holes, let's say this one, and you'll measure directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So from the center of the starting hole to the center of the hole right across from it, on this wheel, it'll measure four inches. So it's a four-on-four inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of 0.5 inch by 20 and the weight capacity on this wheel is 1,250 pounds. But that should do it for the review on this Dexstar 12 inch by 4 inch black modular steel trailer wheel with the four-on-four inch bolt pattern.

Buen producto ,buena calidad,buen precio, entregado en el tiempo previsto,valió la pena comprarlo
Very nice!
Everything is perfect.
Well made wheels and the fact they were made in the USA made me happy.
Could come with the valve stem installed
The wheels look great , should work great . Wasn't overly impressed with the shipping time but they did get here before I needed them tomorrow . Other than that I would do business with this company again .
Great tires and rims as the old ones were not as strong as these. I don't use the trailer much but they are still riding high. Thank you
Great service, delivery on time.
Just what I needed for my Hannigan Sierra pull behind trailer
Shipping speed and price is great but packaging of wheels needs work. If I wanted scratched up wheels I would have bought used wheels. Kind of disappointed that one of the wheels arrived with gouges in the finish.
The wheels arrived in good condition, although I wish the packers had put a simple barrier (a sliver of cardboard?) to prevent the scraping of paint off of one of the wheels. Overall still very satisfied.

A year out and the wheels are still doing great! No rust at this time, and the original balancing yes I balance all trailer wheeltires - one of these was spot on, the other required a lot of weight is still excellent.
I like the wheels for my purpose. They look to be of good quality. They say made in USA so what's not to like. Shipping was horrible, USPS I could have walked to the company myself and back, in the time it took to ship one-way.I guess we haven't paid USPS there billions of bail out money yet this year. Anyway it's no reflection on e-trailer. I'll use this company anytime they have products I need. Customer service is always 5 star. IMHO.
Fast shipping packaged well nice parts thaanks
Good product at a fair price. Shipping packaging was good. USA made!!

That looks great, Alan! What kind of bike are you pulling it with?
The rims you sent has some marks on the finish, which I'm not very pleased about. The tires are from 2024, and while AI mentioned they are still good despite being a year and a half old, I find it disappointing that your company would do this. Additionally, I spoke with two different people in chat, and both assured me that the tires would be mounted on the rims, but that was not done.
Perfect replacement for the stock wheels on my dad's 35 year old trailer. Hauled 3 loads of mulch already. Great product and well packaged. Outstanding customer service as well. Thank you!

Love hearing that, especially bringing a 35-year-old trailer back to life. Sounds like those wheels are already getting put to work with the mulch runs. Nothing better than upgrading something older and having it perform like new again. Really appreciate the kind words about the service too, that means a lot. Are you just doing some gardening or working on a larger project?
