When you’re towing serious weight, a strong wheel makes all the difference. This 16" x 6" Dexstar steel spoke wheel is rated for 3,750 lbs and meets Department of Transportation standards. The sturdy steel construction and 0 offset give it the backbone to handle hauling jobs with confidence, trip after trip.
Corrosion has a way of sneaking in, but this wheel fights back with a black powder coat finish over a protective e-coat primer. That layered finish helps block moisture and grime so the surface stays protected through rain, heat, or road spray. It also gives the eight-spoke design a clean, durable look that holds up well over time.
Getting the right fit shouldn’t take guesswork. This wheel uses an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern to match common heavy-duty hubs, with a 4.9" pilot diameter and compatibility for 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 stud sizes. That setup keeps installation simple and ensures a secure connection once torqued down.
The eight-spoke pattern isn’t just style—it spreads load evenly across the rim for consistent performance and a smooth ride feel. The black finish gives it a modern touch that looks sharp while staying practical for everyday towing 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"

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a brief look together at this Dexstar Black Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel. Now this sturdy steel wheel with this eight spoke pattern in a glossy black powder coat finish is made here in the USA, and it does meet the Department of Transportation specifications. Now, this wheel has excellent corrosion resistance with the black powder coat finish over E-coat primer, and bringing this back around here, the dimensions of this rim, beginning with the diameter measuring bead seat to bead seat is 16 inches, and then the width, again, measuring bead seat to bead seat is six inches, and our bolt pattern is eight on six and a half inches. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes, and the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which our bolt holes sit.
So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an even number of bolt holes as we have here, you're simply going to measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. Now the wheel stud size is a half an inch by 20, and or nine 16 of an inch by 18. This wheel has a capacity of 3,750 pounds. The center cap is sold separately, but if you decide to pick one up, you would just need to make sure that it fits the pilot diameter of 4.9 inches. Well, that's gonna wrap up our brief look today.
I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Ratings & Reviews
I am 100 percent happy with the tires and rims, they are exactly what I was looking for. In the last year I have purchased 4 new 6 ply bias tires due to the new tires I had purchased the year before blowing out with a load. I purchased the 10 ply radial tires with the new rims for a new look and better reliability. The trailer pulls great and the tires and wheels handle excellent. These are great products that I couldn't find anywhere else. Thanks etrailer.
Very happy with my etrailer 15” white spoke rims. I highly recommend etrailer.com for any and all trailer parts/accessories. Check out the before and after pictures. After is with a new paint job on the trailer to go with the new wheels and tires. Thank you etrailer for the speedy turnaround on shipping. Ordered Saturday and received them by the following Wednesday.
Bought a pair of these wheels for spares for trailer. Fit fine. Haven’t had to use but ready when the time comes.
I’ll be using this new rim as a spare it Matches the existing black wagon wheels on our Forest River AURURA perfectly
The purchase, communications, delivery, etc of this product was the best experience I’ve had on the Internet. This company knows how to do business!!
Quick shipping, exactly as described, fits perfectly.
Made in USA wheel, awesome!, perfect match. Shipping was on time. I really liked the progress updates from the time order was received, who pulled the order and shipping progress. Personalized service for sure! Excellent all around, quality wheel and spare wheel bracket for my trailer, perfect fit.
Rims were just what was needed. Only wish valve stems would come with them or at least offered at time of purchase. The heavy cardboard boxes that they were packed in held up well in shipping.
I needed a spare wheel to match the ones that came with my Dexter axles. These wheels are exactly the same. Thanks!
Had my wheels mounted and they look great on my utility trailer. They arrived super quick. Had great customer service on this order. Will definitely order through this company again. Thanks again.
This is the matching wheel I’m using as a spare mounted to the side of my trailer. The all black powder coated look is great, they function well. Etrsiler was amazing. Got it next day, with great communication.
Arrived fast , free shipping. Packaged well. Good price. USA made.
I was looking to match the wheels that I have. They are Dexter wheels made in 1989. Made in USA with a fully welded center. These wheels looked to be the same from the pictures and are made in USA. They are a exact match other than the color and the center is 40 thousands thinner than the Dexter wheel but I do not think that will make any difference. I would recommend these wheels to any one needing replacements. They are way better than the China wheels that have the centers stitch welded not fully welded. I had one of those break the center loose on my 5th wheel
Had them up to about 85 on the Interstate ( Strictly Passing at those Speeds ) with Speed Rating T Tires ( Stock Tires on the 4x8 ft Trailer was only rated for 45 so I did not want to chance it at those Speeds ) about 1,300 Miles Round Trip. No Problems.....
3 of the 4 Dexstar wheels that I received are too far out of true to use.
Wheel is put together well and required a minimal amount of balancing weights with mounted tire, paint job/powder coating is thin and could be better. It is also very heavy. Unfortunately weight of wheels was not provided, otherwise I might have chosen a different model.
Very nice wheels. Glad they're American made. Heavy duty and perfectly painted. Look good on my utility trailer!
The wheel worked exactly as it should. Perfect fit for our trailer. We purchased it to have a second spare for long trips. It saved the day beside a busy windy highway.
Awesome
