When you’re logging long days on the road, a strong wheel keeps everything rolling smooth. This 15" diameter x 5" wide modular steel wheel is rated for 2,150 lbs, giving you dependable strength for repeated use and long hauls. It’s a straightforward setup that stands up to miles of towing without worry.
Nothing throws off a trip like having to stop and retighten hardware. The beveled stud holes on this wheel seat snugly against the hub, helping eliminate lug nut retightening after installation. Once it’s mounted, it stays put so you can focus on the drive instead of the details.
Road grime, rain, and time can take their toll on bare metal. The black powder coat finish protects against corrosion and keeps the modular cutout design looking sharp. It’s a clean, practical style that fits right in with any trailer setup.
Finding the right replacement shouldn’t mean chasing obscure specs. This wheel uses the widely used 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern with a 3.19" pilot diameter and 1/2"-20 wheel bolts, making it easy to match up with common hubs for quick, confident installation.
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 Lionshead 15-inch-by-five-inch, black modular steel trailer wheel with the five on 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern. Now this steel wheel has the modular design, which is sturdy and corrosion-resistant. And when we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. The rust-resistant finish includes a black powder coat on both the front and the back of the wheel.
And if you notice, the center cap of the wheel is not included. If you do want one, we do sell those separately. You do wanna make sure to get one that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole 'cause the cap when you install it goes through that hole. The diameter on this pilot hole is 3.19 inches. Now also, if you notice right over here, the valve stem is pre-installed, is included, and this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, and the SAE J1204 specifications.
The wheel is made in the USA. A few dimensions on this we're gonna measure is the diameter and the width, and the diameter will always be measured inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat. So you can see if we go with a tape measure straight across, there's your 15-inch diameter. The width, the same way, you're measuring bead seat to bead seat or inside to inside. There's your five-inch width.
And the bolt pattern on this wheel is a five on 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern, and on a bolt pattern, that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, five lugs. The way you'll measure the bolt pattern is you'll pick any lug hole. So let's say this hole right here, and then you're gonna measure across to either one of these holes. But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whichever hole you measure to. So on this one, it'll measure 4 1/2 inches.
So that's telling you this is a five-lug, 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern. The wheel lug size that chews on this is a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity is 2,200 pounds.

Ratings & Reviews
Just over 10,000 miles on these rims the past year. They are on a 5,000lb dual axle travel trailer. Paired with Goodyear Endurance tires, we've had no issues. Smooth ride, no chips or rust in paint. They still look like new.
Two of the rims were damaged in transit. When I opened the box there was no padding in the box. The two rims were knocking against each other. I submitted an email to customer service three days ago. I have not heard from them.
Nice rims, fast shipping, excellent customer service.
Thank you to Rachel A. who went over and beyond what was expected. She is very knowledgable was able to find a match for my rims with limited information. I highly recommend to others and will definitely contact her and your company for future trailer needs.
Matched my original perfect. Construction was solid and seems to be holding up well.
I purchased 4 of these 13" Rims to replace the factory spec Rims that came with my Boat Trailer & I could not be happier. I used my existing Tires (ST175/80D13) and had them changed out with no Issue - If you want to upgrade your Trailer Tire rims without spending $600 Dollars and look good doing it these are for you. From the Payment process to the Shipping & Receiving, All went perfect! I will shop at etrailer.com again. Thank you
I had aluminum rims on fifth wheel trailer (not sure what brand they were) but the aluminum would hair line crack rendering the wheel use less. I called James at etrailer, told him my problem. I wanted a rim as close to the original as possible and he came up with a solution. As I followed him on my laptop he said you’ll also need these valve stems, these wheel nuts, these Center caps. In a matter of minutes I placed the order and knew exactly what I was getting because of James expertise. I highly recommend the lions head aluminum rim.
Great service fast shipping
The rim worked out great for us, thank you for your prompt service!
Super fast service on delivery. Excellent product with exact fit and price point is right on the mark. Etrailer is awesome to deal with. Thanks so much.
Perfect and On Time. Love the attention to being on time and the correct item.

Excellent product
Too bad this is a replacement wheel forthe wheel and tires you shipped on 7/2022.
2 years old and a weld failure, No warranty for this manufacturing defect.
Ordered 8 lug 16 x 7 Polished Aluminum rim. Shipped 6 lug 15 x 6 steel rim. I know, it is hard to tell the difference, right?
Called trailer customer service. Oh, that is wrong, I we have the right one in stock, I will see if I can get it shipped next week, we are busy.
If you are going to order, call to make sure they are not too busy to get it right!
fast shipping
This is my first purchase from Etrailer and I am impressed how fast they shipped this steel rim I ordered as a spare for my new enclosed trailer. It ended up being the exact rim my trailer came with ,so I was very happy. It’s a nice sturdy rim, and the welds looked good as they should. A+
Great quality and fast shipping!
Just what I needed for a farm feed trailer. Thanks, Greg H
Aluminum discounted wheel came as described with a few slight scratches. Great deal !!!!!
Nice Wheels and fast shipping.
shipping was fast and wheels look good
Nice wheel. I had a friend, who is in the tire business, mount a tire. I asked him what he thought of the rim and he told me it was as beefy as I would need.
Kevin was great to work with on my replacement wheel after I lost a wheel bearing someplace in Wisconsin headed back to KC. Great customer service and communication!!!
Quality wheel. Exactly as advertised
