This 15" x 5" Vesper steel wheel is engineered to take on heavy-duty use. The modular design and premium-grade steel throughout give it solid strength with a weight rating of 2,160 lbs. Whether it’s loaded down or rolling long distances, the 0 offset keeps it stable and balanced while the 3.19" pilot diameter ensures a precise fit on the hub.
Instead of a basic powder coat, this wheel uses a three-step paint process that starts with a zinc phosphate pre-treatment, adds an e-coat primer, and finishes with a white acrylic enamel topcoat. The result is superior chip and scratch resistance that stays looking clean even after contact with road debris or curbs. It’s been salt spray tested for more than 1,000 hours for corrosion resistance you can count on.
Loose lug nuts aren’t something you want to deal with on the road. The beveled stud holes on this wheel help keep it tight against the hub so you don’t have to constantly retorque after installation. That small detail adds up to less maintenance and more confidence every time you tow.
Built by the world’s largest wheel manufacturer, this Vesper model benefits from advanced engineering that reduces weight by 5–10% compared to standard steel wheels. It’s a straightforward, reliable design from a company known for producing strong, well-balanced wheels that hold up under real-world use.
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"

Hi, everybody. Andy here with the etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at this Vesper 15 inch by five inch white steel modular trailer wheel without the stripe, with a five on five inch full pattern. This steel wheel with modular design is sturdy and rust-resistant. The white acrylic enamel finish is going to resist chipping and other damage better than powder coat finishes. Now this finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment, and it covers an e-coat primer layer. So it has an excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours.
The beveled stud holes here are going to help keep your wheels securely in place on your trailer hub, eliminating the need for constant retightening of the lug nuts. By the way, the wheel stud size is a half an inch by 20. And as you can see here, the valve stem is included. This wheel does meet SAE J1204 standards. It has a capacity of 2,160 pounds.
And as we've already mentioned the rim dimensions is 15 inches in diameter from bead seat to bead seat, and then five inches wide again by bead seat to bead seat. Now, again, we also mentioned that our bolt pattern is five on five inches. The first number in that bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. And the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle, on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes as we have here, you just wanna measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway across or halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first.
Now the center cap is sold separately, but if you decide to pick one up, you do wanna make sure that it fits the pilot diameter of 3.19 inches. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Great price on right product (rims), arrived quickly and worked perfect for my utility trailer.
Great service, good product and fair price. I have built many trailers this one looks very nice with the wheels I ordered.
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!
quality product , fast shipping
Have ordered from you before, Am always amazed that you process the order promptly and ship it right out. This does not happen a lot of the time with other retailers. Great job and thanks to everyone involved.
Very lightweight, solid wheel that work great for my trailer needs. Will buy for any future new trailers for sure. Highly recommend!
