Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Today we're going to review part number AM20742. This is the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod trailer wheel in a 16" x 6" wheel size. This wheel is a sturdy steel construction. It does have excellent corrosion resistance because of the use of the white powder coat finish over this e-coat primer all over the whole wheel. Now this design is a mini mod design. And when we say mini mod, it basically means it's the design that has the small round holes that go all the way around the outside of the wheel.
This is a high-quality wheel that meets the DOT specifications. It is made in the USA. Now to give you a few rim dimensions on this, a 16" diameter x 6" wide. When we measure the diameter, we're not going to measure edge to edge. We're actually going to measure bead seat to bead seat.
The tire would actually seat right in here. So you just want to measure the diameter from where the bead seat is to the other bead seat. So if we get a ruler, measure mead seat to bead seat, see it's 16" in diameter. Now the width is 6" wide. And the same way, we don't measure edge to edge.
We'll measure where the tire bead will seat, which is inside to inside. So in this case, if we put the ruler on, it's going to be 6" wide. So 16" x 6" wheel. Now the bolt pattern on this is a 6 on 5-1/2". As you can see the 6 lug holes right here.
The 5-1/2" would indicate the measurement if you drew a circle through the center of all 6 of those holes, measure the diameter of that circle. It would be 5-1/2". So the way to do that is just to measure from the center of this hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. And when you do that you'll see that it's 5-1/2". So 6 lug 5-1/2". This does use a wheel bolt size of 1/2" x 20. The pilot hole diameter, which is this large hole in the center of the wheel that goes over your hub on your trailer, on this wheel it would actually measure 4.27". The weight capacity on this wheel is 3,050 lbs. at 90 psi. And this wheel does come with a limited 2-year warranty. That should do it for the review on part number AM20742, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod trailer wheel.

Purchased these for spares for our horse trailer. They are heavy! Good strong rims. We are putting these on a 38 ft horse trailer with LQ. Each axel is rated at 7k so these rims were perfect for that. 139768

Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I purchased these rims because they're made in the USA. They're well made and are heavier due to increased load capacity. Rims were true and had very little run out, unlike the chinese made rims that came originally on my trailer. I would purchase these rims again. 239347
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The rims where they are welded could have a better finish where the o.d of the rim meets, and the welding on the back side still had pieces of mig wire sticking out to get your hand stick with the wire. I had four new rims already that I could not use because of the positive offset. They were made in china and had a finshed better finish, and I hate to say that. I really expected better quality come from a Dexstar Usa product. Maybe alike of quality control. 215432

E trailer never fails! Quick shipping and a great product. E trailer has even improved the packaging for these wheels so they cannot shift around in the sturdy box since I bought wheels last year. Customer for life! 344494
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Only place online I know of to get black 8 lug steel wheels. Put 5 of these on my all black dump trailer with brand new chrome lug nuts and they look NASTY! They are also rated for the heavy weight I need unlike some other knock offs out there. Long time Etrailer customer here and they have so much selection compared to anyone else they keep sucking me back in! 269304
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Very high quality steel wheel (made in USA) made it affordably possible to replace the inferior quality, unsafe gravity cast Chinese wheels and crappy OEM tires on our Hyperlite XLR. Upon purchase of the XLR, we immediately bought a set of five so that we could run the Michelin RIB tire at 80psi. No "China Bomb" blow-outs, no problems. Everyone should do this for safety and piece of mind. These wheels should be industry standard! 383333
