If you deal with wet roads, salt, or long exposure to the elements, this steel modular wheel is made to last. The 14" x 6" Taskmaster wheel uses a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating process that bonds an aluminum layer to the steel in a vacuum environment. That gives it a hard, wear-resistant black finish that won’t pit or peel like chrome. It held up through over 168 hours of salt spray and 500 hours of water immersion testing, so it stays looking sharp even in rough weather.
Loose lug nuts can ruin a trip, but this wheel’s design helps prevent that. The automotive-rated center disc and uncoated beveled stud holes improve clamp force retention, helping the wheel stay tight against the hub over time. It’s a simple upgrade that gives extra confidence on long hauls and frequent towing.
The black PVD finish reflects light like chrome but with a darker tone that stands out. Owners describe it as “black chrome” thanks to how it shines and resists chipping or peeling better than traditional chrome plating. If you’re refreshing a setup or want something more modern than standard painted steel, this finish looks clean and stays that way longer.
This wheel measures 14" in diameter and 6" wide with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, 3.27" pilot diameter, and zero offset for balanced mounting. Rated at 1,870 lbs and built to SAE J1204 standards, it includes the valve stem so you can bolt it up knowing you’ve got proper capacity and fitment for typical trailer setups.
This wheel should be cleaned with only mild soap and water. Do not use rim cleaners or other abrasive cleaners.
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"

Haven't used it yet
Thanks Everything went well
I received the rims very timely they look great and Melissa who helped me was awesome
Good looking wheel.
Package arrived in a timely manner but the packaging should have been more robust to keep rims from banging together and possibly damaging the finish. Happy with the purchase though.
The coating was chipped.
Both wheels had scuffed paint. One wheel had a slight dent on the bead seat. My tire installer said to go with it. My rating would be a bit above average. Excellent if there had not been wheel damage.I will continue business with you as my needs warrant.

About one year later and the rims and tires look brand new. The color is labeled Black PVD, but they are more like a Black Pearl rainbow.
fast service ordered on Friday and had it by Saturday and the wheels I got look awesome!! They look better than the picture and the price was great!
After looking for these wheels for 5 months I found e trailer. Ordered on Monday delivered by Thursday. Thank you so much!!
Nice wheels, great price and fast shipp ing.
Rims look great, exactly as advertised. PVD finish is outstanding. Can't wait to mount wheels on them and install on my boat trailer.
the tire I received was folded into itself probably for shipping purposes. I was a bit concerned, but my install guys said they didnt have any problems with it. worked out perfect.
Love the PVD coating, looks like black chrome. I bought the scratch/dent ones (less than half price of brand new) which is perfect for me, i save a few bucks and am not extra worried about putting a scratch or dent in them!! Win-win. Super fast shipping and excellent communications from etrailer. Will definately tell everyone i know about etrailer! Thanks.
Really disappointed with the wheels right out of the box. Every wheel has dings and nicks. We have no time to ship them back as we are using the trailer this weekend and have a bent wheel on it. Is there a PVD coating for touching up all the places where it’s dinged? :(

I am sorry that the rims arrived this way to you. I am afraid that there is not a PVD coating that can be used to touch them up. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to work towards a solution.
The wheels are made very well. The shipping was exactly on time.
When I ordered these in black, wasn’t sure if they were solid black or black chrome. They came as black chrome which is what i wanted. The finish one these wheels are fantastic. I am replacing these on my camper that have aluminum wheels now. One of them somehow got cracked and can’t find a match so decided this time to go with steel wheels because these much more durable. The last camper also had aluminum wheels that got cracked.
Although others may not consider these as stylish as aluminum, I would recommend these as i wanted sturdy wheels rather than looks and i like the style of these. I think they will look just as nice once installed.
That is the worst quality ever sent by a company the product you sent to me was in the worst condition I have ever seen
I purchased these wheels because they had a little bit of a different look and I was impressed with the PVD finish information upon receiving the rims. There are numerous chips around the edge of rim typical of what you would expect out of a painted rim, but I thought maybe this PVD would be different.
Great looking wheels. Speedy shipping. Will recommend
Rim arrived in great shape and looks great. I love the coating. This wheel is to replace a missing spare on a used Malibu boat purchase. I couldn’t get myself to just settle for a plain painted wheel even if it is to be used as a spare, this will add about of style without breaking the bank.

Totally, Brent! Now if you have to use the spare, you'll still be riding in style :) Did you spend any time on the water over the weekend?
All wheels arrived with chips on edges of rims inside and out. These are for a boat trailer so I had to use paint touch up so they will not corrode .Pressed for time so I had to put them on. Wheels should have been packaged better to prevent this from happening.
Do you have a question about this Trailer Tires and Wheel?
Condition: Surface Scratches
