Video Transcript for Review of Lionshead Trailer Tires and Wheels - Aluminum Wheel - LH67VR

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Lionshead 16 inch by six inch Eagle matte black aluminum trailer wheel with the six on five and 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this is an aluminum wheel. It is durable, lightweight, and rust proof. It is the attractive Eagle Series wheel, which is a split six spoke design with the all black matte black finish to it. Now, they do use an automotive grade clear coat finish on the front, which protects from scuffs and scratches.

One of the nice features I like on this is the steel inserts that are pressed into the lug nut wells right here. These are designed to help keep your wheels securely in place on the trailer hub. Basically what happens is when you put this up onto your hub, put your lug nuts on and you torque your lug nuts down, those steel lug, or the steel inserts in the lug nut wells, they'll prevent those holes from elongating or wearing down over time, so it eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. Valve stem is included right over here. It is pre-installed onto the wheel.

Now, the center cap is not included. 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'll have 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 4.25 inches. This wheel does meet the DOT Department of Transportation specifications and the SAE J1204 standards.

Two dimensions on this we're gonna measure is the diameter and the width. Diameter, when you measure it on a wheel, is always measured inside the inside. So you'll be able to see if we take a tape measure, and if we go inside to inside, there's your 16 inch diameter. The width is the same way. You're gonna measure inside to inside, or bead seat to bead seat.

Six inches width. And the bolt pattern on this wheel is a six on five and 1/2 inch bolt pattern. And if you wanted to measure that on a wheel like this that's an even number of lugs, six lugs, it's pretty easy because if you look, the lug holes are directly across from each other. So all you have to do is pick one of the holes, let's say this one, measure from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this one, it'll measure five and 1/2 inches. So that means it's a six lug, five and 1/2 inch bolt pattern. This wheel will 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 3,300 pounds. But that should do it for a look at this Lionshead 16 inch by six inch Eagle matte black aluminum trailer wheel with the six on five and 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
