Features to know about

Built to Handle Real Loads: 3,860-lb Capacity with 0 Offset

This steel modular trailer wheel is made to carry serious weight. With a 16" x 6" rim and an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern, it’s rated for up to 3,860 lbs. The 0 offset keeps the load evenly centered on the hub for balanced support. It meets SAE J1204 standards, so you can trust the wheel’s strength and consistency mile after mile.

Fights Rust and Road Wear: Black Acrylic Enamel Finish

The black acrylic enamel finish is tougher than typical powder coating. It goes over a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and e-coat primer for excellent corrosion resistance—tested to more than 1,000 hours in salt spray. That layered protection helps the wheel stay looking sharp and resist chipping from road debris or curb scrapes far longer than standard coatings.

Keeps Lugs Tight and Secure: Beveled Stud Holes

Beveled stud holes are built into the rim to help keep the wheel snug on the hub. This design reduces the need for constant retightening of lug nuts and maintains a solid connection under load. It’s a simple detail that makes a big difference in long-term reliability when towing heavy gear or logging highway miles.

Ready for High-Pressure Tires: Metal Valve Stem Compatible

This wheel can handle up to 100 psi when paired with a proper metal valve stem like part # AM20906. That means it works with higher-pressure tires often used on heavy-duty trailers without pushing limits on air retention or safety margin. It arrives with a valve stem included, so setup is straightforward from day one.

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"

Its still on the trailer and working fine. No problems, other than the trailer looking funny with a new wheel and 5 other 10-year old wheels!



by:

I initially tried to shop around town to avoid the hassle of placing an online or over the phone order, none of the shops around town had the wheel I was looking for so I gave Etrailer a call and to my surprise they have great customer service, Malakhai looked up for a perfect match and placed my order in less than 7 minutes, sent a notification and tracking number, my order got received in exactly 4 business days, Thank you guys.



by:

Quality wheel great powder, coating shipping expedited good experience



by:

Fast and safe shipping as always



by:

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.



by:

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.

  • Do You Have a Wheel to Mount My Spare Tire Size LT225/75/R16?
    Hello Ken, We most definitely do! It is common for that tire size to be used on trailers, the "LT" actually stands for Light Truck, so just as long as you are using it for a spare on a trailer the following will work: The Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Galvanized Finish # AM20781 would work for a spare. I went with the galvanized because that is what you asked the question on. I would like to mention that this one has a 8 on 6 1/2" bolt pattern. You could also...

  • What Axles To Use For Braking Axles On A Triple Axle Trailer
    Hello Rick, those are great questions, and I can definitely help. To answer your first question, usually we recommend that all shackles are the same size. That said, if you do need to intermix different sizes, you certainly can. Like you said, as long as both sides are equal, and the suspension is correctly aligned, you will be good to go. I do recommend keeping them all the same length if you can, just for sake of simplicity and cost effectiveness. If you ever need to replace components...

  • Can Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR Handle 100 PSI
    Hey Chase, yes the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR that you referenced can handle 100 psi. 16 inch trailer tires PSI requirements are pretty commonly over 100 psi so the wheel and valve stem this comes with can handle that.

  • Replacement 16 x 6 Inch Wheel for a Big Tex 14GN Trailer
    For your 2021 Big Tex 14GN trailer you are going to want the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel item # TA65VR. This 16" x 6" rim is black and has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. This rim has a 3,860 lbs capacity which matches up perfectly with your Dexter 7,000 lbs axles. You don't need a 4,400 lbs capacity rim on a 7,000 lbs axles. You would be over paying for capacity you will never use. You will also need the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long item # AM20906. If you are...

  • Do Wheels Have PSI Ratings?
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # TA65VR and the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # AM20761B you referenced do not have individual PSI's because they do not have a tire or valve stem installed. The tire you would add to these wheels and the valve stem would determine the PSI. The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E item # AM10248 would be a good option. This tire has a PSI of 90.

  • Recommended Wheel For A 2021 Big Tex 14gn
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16 inch x 6 inch Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # TA65VR will fit on your 2021 Big Tex 14 GN. If you rim is 16 inch x 6 inch with a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2 this will work for you. When you measure your wheel and it's not the correct size please reach back out to me and I can find you the correct size. I attached a review video link below.

  • Where is Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Manufactured
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR was either made in Mexico or Brazil. When I reached out to my contact at Taskmaster he said those are the places that manufacture their wheels and without seeing a specific wheel he wouldn't be able to give more direct confirmation.

  • How to Determine if 16 Inch Black Wheel With 8 Bolt Holes Will Fit
    The only way to know for sure if the 16 inch, 8 lug, black steel wheels we offer will fit your trailer is if you know your current wheel's bolt pattern (there isn't any type of specific fit for wheels on a Kaufman trailer). If you have an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern there are two options: - Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # TA65VR - Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # AM20761B All you need to do to determine...

  • Recommended Wheel for ST255/85R16 Spare Tire
    A tire like the Goodyear Endurance ST255/85R16 requires a wheel that is at least 6-1/2" wide. This means that you will not be able to use the # TA65VR for your spare tire since it is only 16" x 6". Instead, I recommend the Taskmaster Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02665865HDBML. This wheel is black with the same 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and measures 16" x 6-1/2" so it will fit your ST255/85R16 tire. Although it is a spare, I would check to see what wheels you currently...

  • Recommended Trailer Rim With 8 on 6-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern for 235/80-16 10-Ply Rated Tire
    A 235/80-16 tire will fit on a 16 x 6, 6-1/2, 7, or 7-1/2 inch wide wheel. We have tons of wheels in that size range that have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern. If you wanted a simple powder coated white spoke wheel, the Dexstar # AM20750 16 x 6 wheel would work great. The wheel has a 3750 lb per wheel/7500 lb per axle capacity. If you didn't want a wheel that's so basic, the Taskmaster # TA65VR black powder coat 16 x 6 steel modular wheel would be a great choice. This wheel also...

  • Is The Vesper 16x6 Mod Wheel Available In Black?
    We do indeed have a Vesper by Maxion Wheels 16" x 6" Mod Wheel in black. For this, you will want the # TA65VR. This will also have the 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and includes the valve stem.

  • Will the Taskmaster 16" Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Hold 95 Psi
    Yes, the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # TA65VR can handle 95 psi, you just need a metal valve stem like the Metal Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906.

  • Is There Black Version of Taskmaster Steel Modular 16 inch Wheel TA55VR
    We have a black version of the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16 x 6 Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver Item # TA55VR with the part # TA65VR. This would fit a tire size of 235/80R16 like the # LHWL401 as well since it is 6 inch wide.

  • Will Bridgestone 205R16 Size Tire Fit 16 Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel
    Your Bridgestone 205R16 should fit just fine on the 16" x 6" Taskmaster Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR. As long as your tire is rated for at least 3,500 lbs then the wheel will be able to withstand that much weight as well since it has a max capacity of 3,860 lbs.

  • Could Dexstar Trailer Wheel part # AM20761B Fit Hub Bore of 4.917 Inches
    The part # TA65VR has a pilot diameter of 5.12 inches so it would easily fit over your hub pilot. The part # AM20761B does have a pilot of 4.9 inches but as close as you are to it I believe it would fit.

  • Recommended Trailer Wheel Compatible with 2015/75R-17.5 Tires
    The Taskmaster Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR will not work with your Goodyear Tires because it is the incorrect size. This wheel is 16 inches and your tires call for a 17.5 inch wheel. For that similar look your will instead need the Taskmaster Modular Wheel w/ +0.08 Offset - 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" Rim # TA35ZR. You will also need the Flange Wheel Nut - 5/8" # 95188 for installation to your lug bolts. I've also linked the page to all your 17-1/2 inch wheel options with the 8...

  • What Is The Bolt Pattern Of Vesper Steel Trailer Wheel TA65VR?
    The Vesper wheel # TA65VR you were looking at have an 8 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. I'll say that these have a slim chance of working on a vehicle as trailer wheels like # TA65VR have zero offset where typical vehicle wheels have offset to allow the wheel and tire to clear the body/suspension. I included a video of the # TA65VR for you to take a look at.
