Video Transcript for Review of Lionshead Trailer Tires and Wheels - Aluminum Wheel Only - LH46VR

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Lionshead, 15 inch by six inch glossy black Eagle aluminum trailer wheel with a six on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this is an aluminum wheel. It's durable, lightweight, and rust proof. We mentioned it's the Eagle series, which has a split six spoke design, has a glossy black finish and you can see they do a machine edge on the spokes and a little bit on the lip here. So you can see it gives a little bit of a shine to the wheel.

They do use an automotive grade clear coat finish on the front to help protect from scuffs and scratches. Now, one of the nice features I like on this wheel is these pressed in steel inserts in the lug nut wells. They're designed to help keep your wheel securely in place on the trailer hub. Basically what they help is when you put this up on your trailer hub, the studs come through, put your lug nuts on, torque your lug nuts down. Those steel inserts in there prevent the holes from elongating or wearing down over time.

So eliminates the need for constant retightening of your lug nuts. Now if you notice the valve stem right over here, it is included. It's pre-installed into the wheel. Now the center cap is not included. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separate on our website.

You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole. 'Cause when you put your center cap in, it'll come through this pilot hole. Pilot hole diameter right here is 4.25 inches. This wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications and the SAE J1204 standards. Few measurements on this, we're gonna do the diameter and the width.

And when you measure the diameter, it's measured inside to inside on the wheel. So if we take our tape measure and if we go all the way across, you can see there's your 15 inch diameter. On the width, same way, you'll measure inside to inside or bead seat to bead seat, six inches wide. Now the bolt pattern on this is a six on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, six, it's pretty easy because the lug holes you can see are directly across from each other. So when you go to measure, pick any hole, let's say this one, measure from the center of the hole to the center of the hole right across from it. So this measures 5 1/2 inches. So that means it's a six lug, 5 1/2 bolt pattern. This will use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20, and the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,830 pounds. But that should do it for a look at this Lionshead, 15 inch by six inch glossy black Eagle aluminum trailer wheel with the six on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
