Video Transcript for Review of HWT Wheels - Hi-Spec Series 06 - AM22328BP

Today we're going to take a look at the HWT 14 inch by five and a half inch wide, high spec series, 06, black machined, aluminum trailer wheel, with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is an aluminum wheel. It's very durable, very lightweight and rustproof. This one happens to be the high spec series 06 design, and that's a seven spoke wheel, has the machine face and lip, and the black interior on the wheel. It's very unique and appealing. The front and the back of the wheel are all clear coated.

They do use ICF technology, which is improved clamp force. Helps keep your wheel securely in place, offers a Bulletproof joint that's created between the wheel and the hub when it's properly installed, so there's no need to re torque after initial installation. Now the center cover plate, right here, and is included. It covers your lug nuts, and, basically how you would remove that is there's a screw right here, so if you would just unscrew that.And once you unscrew that bolt out of there, then that center cover plate will pop off and you have access to your.. hub and to your lug nuts.

So, once we take our screw out. And you can see the cap is removed, there's your lug nuts, where your lug nuts would go. And when you go to install this cap, what you want to do is there's a little tab on this cap, and there's a little cutout right across from the. Where the screws screws in. So you'll put that tab, line it up to where that tab fits in that cutout, and then align your screw up, and then you just put your screw back in to hold it into place.

Now this is a high quality wheel, does meet the DOT specifications. Few specs on this, we're going to measure the diameter, which is 14 inches. And when you measure the diameter, that will always be measured inside the inside.So if we take our tape measure. If we go inside the inside, there's your 14 inch diameter. The width on it is the same way, it's inside the inside or bead seat to bead seat.

So, on this wheel would be five and a half inches wide. Bolt pattern on this wheel, it's going to be a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure that on a wheel like this, that's an odd number of lugs, in this case five, you just pick any one of the holes. Let's say this one, and then you'll measure across to either one of the holes right across from it, but when you measure it, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of the hole that you measure to. So on this one it'll measure, four and a half inches.So it's a five lug, four and a half inch wheel. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the pilot hole diameter, which is this large hole here in the center wheel, goes over the hub on your trailer. Diameter of that opening is 3.19 inches. And then the weight capacity on this wheel is 1,900 pounds. So we'll go ahead and put our cap back on there. Line up the tab, put the screw in there. Once we get the screw started, then you just tighten it down. And you don't want to over tighten it cause you don't want to break the cap, so just snug it up to inaudible 00:03:01 doesn't move around any. There we go. Now it's snug enough. There you go. That's snug enough to where it'll hold the cap into place, but that should do it for the review on the HWT 14 inch by five and a half inch, high spec series, 06, black machine, aluminum trailer wheel, with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern.
