Features to know about

Built for Everyday Hauling: 13" x 4-1/2" Steel Wheel Rated for 1,468 lbs

When you’re towing gear or equipment regularly, you need a wheel that can take real weight without flexing. The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel measures 13" in diameter and 4-1/2" wide, with a 0 offset and a load capacity of 1,468 lbs. The sturdy steel construction gives dependable strength for steady performance on the road.

Long-Lasting Protection from Corrosion: Silver Acrylic Enamel Finish

Salt, water, and road grime can eat through lesser finishes fast. This wheel uses a silver acrylic enamel finish that’s applied over an e-coat primer and zinc phosphate pre-treatment. It’s been tested to withstand more than 1,000 hours in salt spray conditions, standing up better against chips and scrapes than powder coat finishes. It keeps its clean look and solid protection even after plenty of use.

Secure Mounting That Stays Tight: Beveled Stud Holes

Loose lug nuts are the last thing you want to worry about after a long trip. The beveled stud holes on this wheel help keep it tight against the trailer hub so it stays secure without constant retightening. It’s a simple design detail that makes towing more reliable every time you hit the road.

Straightforward Fitment: 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern with 2.99" Pilot Diameter

Finding a matching wheel shouldn’t be guesswork. This one uses the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, a 2.99" pilot diameter, and accepts 1/2"-20 wheel bolts for easy setup. The included valve stem means you’re ready for tire mounting as soon as it arrives.

Determining Bolt Pattern

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.

Center to Center
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).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

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!

  • Replacement Recommendation for a Carlisle 175/80R13 Tire and Silver Mod Wheel

If you don't believe the specs your trailer manufacturer has listed out then the only way to check what you have is to measure the pilot hole on your current wheels. We don't carry the Carlisle brand name, but we have the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Vesper Silver Mod Wheel #...

    Thanks for reaching out, Jeff! There are a few different ways to get the setup you're looking for.

If you’re after something in a silver finish, check out part # AM3S334, this one features a galvanized rim. Just a quick note about galvanized wheels: since they’re hot-dip coated, the finish can have some inconsistencies, like drips or areas where the coating appears...
