This steel wheel is made for serious hauling. With a 3,750-lb capacity, the 16" x 6" Vesper modular design gives you the strength and stability needed when towing heavy gear or equipment. The beveled stud holes keep the wheel tight against the hub, helping prevent loosening so you can stay focused on the road instead of retorquing lug nuts.
Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance here. The white acrylic enamel finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and e-coat primer layer, delivering more than 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance. It holds up better than powder coat when faced with flying debris or curb scrapes, keeping the wheel looking clean and resisting long-term rust.
The 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and 4.88" pilot diameter make it straightforward to line up your hubs. With a wheel bolt size of 1/2"-20 or 9/16"-18 and a 0 offset, it’s a sturdy, well-balanced setup ready for reliable mounting. The included valve stem means one less small part to track down before installation.
Whether it’s weekend towing or regular runs down the highway, the modular steel construction gives dependable strength and peace of mind. The wheel meets SAE J1204 standards, so you know it’s built to handle real-world use mile after mile without compromising performance or safety.
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 we're gonna take a look at the Vesper 16 inch by six inch white modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is a heavy duty steel wheel. This one has the modular design with a nice bright white finish. And the modular design is the one that has the round holes that go all the way around the wheel. The finish is a white acrylic enamel finish.
This will help resist chipping and other damage better than the standard powder coat finishes. And the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment and then it covers an e-coat primer layer. This will give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than a thousand hours. This wheel also has the beveled stud holds, which will help keep your wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. It eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts.
Also, if you notice right over here, the valve stem is included, it's preinstalled in the wheel. Now this wheel does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll fit this pilot hole diameter, which is 5.12 inches. So you wanna make sure that center cap you choose has a diameter 5.12 inches.
Now this wheel does meet the SAE J1204 standards. Few dimensions on this, we're gonna measure the diameter and also the width. Now, when you measure the diameter on a wheel, it's always measured inside to inside. You don't wanna measure end to end, it's inside to inside. So if we take our tape measure and we go inside to inside, there's your 16 inch diameter and the width will be the same way, it's bead seat to bead seat.
In other words, when the tire sits on here, the bead seats is where the tire will sit. So you're gonna measure inside to inside, right at six inches wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is gonna be an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, eight lugs, it's pretty easy because you can see the lug holes go right across from each other. So it makes it easy to measure. You just pick any hole and measure from the center of that hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this one, it'll measure six and a half inches. So it makes it an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20 or nine sixteenths by 18. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 3,750 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Vesper 16 inch by six inch white modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern..

Ratings & Reviews
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!
Exactly how described
Lost our spare somehow on one of our trailers. Needed a new rim for a new spare and was able to order it on e-trailer. Exact match pin stripe and all. Could not find rim elsewhere.
I cannot find white rims at our local trailer stores anymore. eTrailer always comes through.
