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.

Toady we're going to be taking a look at the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel. This is made from a sturdy steel construction. It's going to offer excellent corrosion resistance. It has a white powder coat finish over the unit and that's going to sit over an e-coat primer. Now it's a mini mod or modular design the mini mod design simply means that it has these small circular or round holes that go around the wheel. The high-quality wheel meets department of transportation specifications. This is designed for trailer use only.
It's made right here in the U.S.A., a few measurements that we want to go over real quick. I'm going to go ahead and spin it around so you can see all the way around the wheel. This is the inboard side, then you have the outboard side, you do have the hole, right here, for the valve stem. Now, this wheel is going to have a capacity of 3960 lbs. We're going to take a look at the rim dimensions starting with the diameter so the diameter is measured from where the tire would sit on the wheel.
From bead seat to bead seat kind of inner edge to inner edge so if we place a ruler across there we can see that that measurement would be sixteen inches so that's going to be the diameter. If we take a look at the width again from where the tire would sit bead seat to bead seat that's going to give us a width of looks to be right on six inches, so a diameter of sixteen, a width of six. The bolt pattern is eight on six and a half. What that means is that we have eight bolt holes right here, or lug holes and then since we have an even number to determine the measurement we can just pick one, you can pick any one and you go straight across from it, measuring it center on center and that would be six and a half inches. The bolt pattern for this wheel is eight on six and a half inches. It's going to fit stud size half inch by twenty and/or nine sixteenths by eighteen.
The pilot hole diameter, that's the diameter of the large hole here at the center, is four point nine inches. That's going to do it for today's look at the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel.

White powder coated, 16" steel wheel features an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and meets Department of Transportation standards.Very happy with my order, ordered 2 trailer rims on Monday and had them on Thursday better service than the other big guys. Thanks for a great job. Gary M
I received my (4) 16" trailer wheels but they were banged up quite a bit. Jesse contacted me after seeing my average review of the purchase. He offered to replace the scratched up wheels and make it right. The offer alone was more important to me than actually replacing the wheels. Etrailer provides outstanding customer service and is proactive in helping their customers. While I chose to not exchange the wheels, I'm happy with my purchase knowing that the customer service is awesome. The wheels are heavy duty and appear to be well made. I replaced the wheels on my trailer because I couldn't determine what capacity they were. I'm now confident that I have the correct capacity wheels and shouldn't have any roadside emergency with a heavy load.
The product appears to be as advertised and delivery was quick. Unfortunately, the two wheels were packaged together in the same box which obviously wasn't going to ship very well due to the weight. The wheels arrived falling out of the box and were chipped up from either falling out of the box or scraping the ground in transit. I'm disappointed in the packaging and can't in good faith blame FEDEX.
Sierra K - 11/04/2021ALWAYS GREAT SERVICE AND KNOW THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL I WILL ALWAYS DO BUSINESS WITH etrailer REALLY LIKE THAT U GUYS KNOW YOUR PRODUCTS
Heavy duty brand name trailer wheel at a good price
Matched OEM.
Thank you for getting this out to us in such a timely manner. This rim was needed to replace a wheel that was stolen off one of our Brooks Bros utility trailers which we use for transporting equipment. While we keep extra tires in stock, we didn’t have an extra rim. We are located in the remote part of the desert so finding suppliers can be a challenge. The trailer was useless with a missing wheel so we really appreciate you getting it to us so quickly. I will certainly remember you when we need something for our other trailers.
As always excellent customer service and knows products well always has what I need
Good rim, Good quality, Fairly priced
Excellent service. Way to stick with it and make everything right. Thanks for you help.
great
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Exactly as described! Quick shipping! Excellent quality! I already have tires mounted and the tires and rims mounted on the trailer! The trailer has 8” rims I needed bigger ones for highway travel! These fit the bill!
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The new wheels are beautiful. The best part is they are made in the U.S.A.!
Two gripes:
1. One of the wheels showed up with a couple minor scratches on them. Not ideal but given they are trailer wheels and I am on a time line to get racing, I didn't want to go through the process of exchanging it.
2. I wish they offered more options for colors and maybe a chrome or polished aluminum.
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I bought 4 of these wheels because they were American made and powder coated. After receiving them, they were all damaged in shipment due to poor packaging. Two wheels per box separated by a small piece of cardboard stapled to the inside of the box. This piece came loose during shipment and destroyed the wheels. etrailer customer service was outstanding in sending another set and setting up a return. Issues...the second set was requested to be sent in individual boxes to prevent damage, however they were again packaged 2 per box with a little larger piece of cardboard. There was still severe chipping of the finish, but no physical denting like the first set. The powder E-coat primer/powdercoat finish is weak at best. The powdercoat is almost non existent on the inside of the wheel. The finish rubs off on the inside of the cardboard box turning it white, and the way it is flaking off of the wheels indicates to me that the powdercoat process used is flawed. 2nd time around I reached out to Dexstar wheel directly, and have returned those wheels to them for examination of the finish. Dexstar is replacing them for me direct as they told me etrailer purchases these wheels from another distributor and not directly from Dexstar. Like I told etrailer and Dexstar, for the price of these wheels, they should have a much better finish. I have 2 Chinese made white painted wheels that are in way better shape for 1/3 of the cost of these. I would not recommend purchasing these wheels from etrailer if you want a quality wheel. Hopefully the replacements directly from Dexstar will arrive in better shape, however I feel the finish will be the same and uneven on the inside at best as the Dexstar sales manager told me they don't put much powder on the inside of the wheel, because the E-coat primer keeps the wheel sealed. Disappointed all around with the product, but both customer service departments have been excellent.

I love these wheels! They are everything I expected and more ; they not only look good , they are strong enough for the weight I haul. They were packaged good and I received them without any flaws. Thank you!

Fast shipping excellent customer service and the wheels fit and look great on my small boat trailer
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!
Bill R - 06/04/2018Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Thanks for checking back with me , as you can see the 1998 trailer where is desperately in need of new tires,rims & fenders very please with the service receive parts in a reasonable manner time replaced also the original factory hubs with new true ride electric brakes, had one half-inch chrome wheel lug nut not fit on the stud check back with sale was great to work with them replaced with new one very pleased with the results received within two days also learning by experience using Grease tightening down chrome nuts on this way it did not cause rust to appear on the Chrome edge. Replaced many parts on my other trailers please with the etrailer products thanks again.
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The rims were as advertised. Was nice to find the correct size (width rim) when most available galvanized rims are on the minimum width size for a 205/75 tire size.
Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Your product packaging is terrible. 4 wheels were packed loose, all together in one oversized box. Not surprisingly, my brand new wheels arrived all scratched and beat up. Why would anyone do this?
Jenny N - 09/19/2022Review from a similar Mini Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
They help dress up the wheels. Luv them.
