When you’re carrying serious weight, a solid wheel makes all the difference. This Vesper modular steel wheel measures 16" in diameter by 6" wide and is rated for 3,640 lbs. The premium-grade steel construction, engineered by Maxion Wheels, delivers dependable load support across long hauls and tough terrain.
Rust and chips can ruin a wheel’s look fast, but this one’s built to fight both. The white acrylic enamel finish sits on top of an e-coat primer and zinc phosphate pre-treatment, giving it exceptional protection against chipping and road debris. It’s been tested to perform for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray exposure, so it stays sharp season after season.
Loose lug nuts are a hassle you don’t need. The beveled stud holes on this wheel help it seat tightly against the hub, boosting torque retention and eliminating the need for constant retightening. It’s a small design detail that keeps your setup secure and worry-free on the road.
Getting the right fit is straightforward thanks to precise specs—6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern, 4.25" pilot diameter, and 0 offset. The wheel accepts either 1/2"-20 or 9/16"-18 bolts and even includes a valve stem, so it’s ready to mount up exactly as designed.
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, I'm gonna take a look at this Vesper 16 inch by six inch white, modular, steel trailer wheel with the six on five and a half inch bolt patterns. Now this is a heavy duty sturdy steel wheel. Has the modular design with a nice white finish. And the modular design is the design that has the round holes that go around the whole wheel. This uses a white acrylic enamel finish on it, helps resist chipping and other damage, better than the powder-coated finishes.
The finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment, and then it covers a knee coat primer layer. This will give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating with more than a thousand hours. This does use the beveled stub holes to help keep the wheels securely in place on your trailer hub. Eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. If you also notice right over here they do include the valve stem.
It is pre-installed, all ready to go. Now, this does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap to finish the look we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have a diameter of 4.25 inches, which is the diameter here of the pilot hole. This is where your center cap will come through the wheel.
How this wheel does meet the SAE J1204 standards. Few dimensions on this wheel we're gonna measure for you, is the diameter and the width and the diameter when you measure it is gonna be from inside to inside. So if we take a tape measure and if we put it on inside to inside there, you can see 16 inch diameter and the width on the wheel's gonna be the same way. It's basically inside, inside or bead seat to bead seat. So if we put our ruler on that, six inches wide.
Now this wheel does have a bolt pattern of six on five and a half inches. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel that's an even number of lugs. Like in this case, six, it's pretty easy because your lug holes are directly across from each other. So all you have to do is pick any hole. Let's say this one and measure from the center of this lug hole directly across to the center of the lug hole right across from it. So on this wheel, we'll measure five and a half inches. So this will be a six lug five and a half inch bolt pattern. This does use a real lug size of either half inch by 20 or nine sixteens by 18. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 3,640 pounds. That should do it for the review on this Vesper 16 inch by six inch white, modular, steel trailer wheel with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern..

Ratings & Reviews
I WAS MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH THE WHEEL/RIM i haven't USED IT yet as it's a spare but it's mounted on the trailer and looks good!
These two wheels look great and are exactly as shown on the etrailer.com website. They came very well protected. Each wheel came wrapped in protective wraps, each were packaged separately inside sturdy cardboard boxes, and the two boxes were shipped together inside one large sturdy cardboard box. Great care was used in the shipping process. The shipment shipped quickly and arrived on time. I highly recommend etrailer.com.
Great fit, I'm ordering 2 more.
looks like a good replacement for our trailer rim
Fast and safe shipping as always
I received my wheel with a dent .
Big dent but small enough to keep pressure in the tire.
I was upset i didn’t open my package until a week after i received it so i thought if i complained they would have thought it was me who did that. Didn’t bother to complain.
Besides the big dent the rim has it’s been solid and hasn’t had any problems. I would give 5 stars if it wasn’t for the dent i received the wheel with.
I have bought a dozen of these wheels over time, and they are very strong and nice looking. Well built to handle 14 ply tires.
Nice upgrade from my original trailer wheels. It came with 14.5 diameter rims.
Rims packaged very good! Shipped super quick, that's a plus. Pricing is in line. Why'd I knock off two stars? I ordered 5 rims, they are all the same size but I got 2 different brands, with different valve stems. Now this probably wouldn't bother some people...it probably wouldn't have bothered me if I were putting them on a work trailer. But my enclosed trailer is pretty sweet and I'm a bit OCD with it. I needed to get tires back on to get it moved so shipping back was not an option unfortunately.
This is a tremendous wheel! The 6" wide wheel is rated at 2835 lbs. Remember your rig is only as good as its weakest link, so a pair of these would be good for 5670 lbs. Overkill on a 3500lbs axle? Maybe, but definitely gives peace of mind, and the price is comparable. They even ship with the high pressure metal stems installed. The offset is neutral, so the difference from a 5" is only a half inch back spacing increase. Be sure to check your clearances from hub face to frame, but my Dexter 95" axle has plenty of clearance from the 80" frame. eTrailer has been the best vendor, period! I originally needed these wheels in April 2016 to replace the truck wheels I had, but the 5-on-5" wheels were not a carried item. Within days the team added them to their product line and had them shipped.
These newer Vesper wheels are even better than the originals from 2016. Thanks eTrailer team for another great experience!
Nice quality wheels, good finish. Just what I needed. Paired these with the chrome center caps.
Working great on our 7000 lb trailer r>axles
Rims look great and fit perfectly on the axle. Having the rims fitted with Goodyear Endurance 14 ply tires. These should last years on my old dump trailer
Looks like a match for the other 5 wheels on our trailer. Haven't got it mounted yet, but don't expect any issues. The service from eTrailer was excellent! wheel arrived earlier than expected.
Excellent products and fast shipping every time.
Perfect match and fit for our 2002 Logan bumper pull horse trailer. Picture shows existing and new wheel (back wheel). New wheel has a classy thin red and blue stripe around the rim….Tire is 225x75R 15 E rated trailer tire.
I have replaced all of my original trailer wheels with these vespers. They have a higher weight rating than the ones that came on my trailer and failed. I love this wheel. They are strong with a beautiful baked on powder coat!
A good quality product at a reasonable price shipped fast.
I hav bought from this seller befor and never disappointed.
Excellent customer service and very quick delivery time. Will absolutely use Etrailer in the future.
