16" x 6" Steel trailer wheel has 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and 5.12" pilot diameter. Environmentally friendly PVD coating process creates a sleek, durable, and corrosion-resistant finish that won't pit or peel like chrome.

Note: This wheel should be cleaned with only mild soap and water. Do not use rim cleaners or other abrasive cleaners.
The highly corrosion-resistant finish on this steel wheel is applied through a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating process. This process occurs in a vacuum environment so that the aluminum coating binds to the steel at a molecular level. As a result, the coating is harder, more durable, and more wear resistant than chrome plating.
Compared to hexavalent and trivalent chrome plating methods, the PVD process creates a finish that withstands the effects of water, flying debris, and other elements for a longer period of time. The aluminum-coated wheels performed for more than 168 hours in salt spray tests, up to 500 hours in water immersion tests, and up to 40 lbs in impact-resistance tests. They won't pit or peel like chrome-plated wheels, and they resist the effects of any chemicals that may be on the road, such as magnesium chloride or salt during icy or snowy weather.
In addition, the PVD coating process is an eco-friendly alternative to chrome plating, which is extremely toxic to the environment.
The automotive-rated center disc is raised and the stud holes are beveled and uncoated for better clamp force retention. This technology helps the wheel stay tight against your hub without the need for constant retightening.
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 660865MBPVD. This is the Taskmaster 16 inch by 6 inch modular steel trailer wheel with the black PVD finish and also has the 8 on 6 and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is a sturdy steel modular designed wheel, and when we say modular designed that's the design of the wheel that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. This wheel does have the nice PVD finish which is a extremely corrosion resistant finish. The PVD stands for physical vapor deposition. It's a coating process that creates a nice sleek black finish that's very hard and more durable then your chrome plating.
It's a nice tough wear resistant coating, it won't pit or peel and it'll resist the affects of any chemicals on the might road, like magnesium chloride or salt during any icy or snowy weather. This does have excellent corrosion resistance, has a salt spray rating of more than 168 hours. It is a process that is environmentally friendly, helps bind the coating to the wheel at a molecular level. It's a very thin coating. This wheel also has the ITR technology which is improved torque retention. This is designed to help keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer.
The stud holes right here, this is where the lugs hold the wheel to your trailer hub, they are beveled to give you a better clamp force retention. This wheel also comes with the high pressure valve stem. This is a high quality wheel. Meets the Department of Transportation specifications, few specs on this, we're going to do some measurements. We'll do the diameter first and that's measured inside to inside, so basically if we take our tape measure and we're going to go inside to inside and you can see it's right at 16 inches of the diameter. The width on the wheel will be measured the same way, bead seat to bead seat, so that's inside to inside, right at 6 inches, so 16 inch by 6 inch wheel. The bolt pattern on this wheel is an 8 on a 6 and a half inch bolt pattern, and if you want to measure bolt pattern on a wheel that's an even number of lugs, like in this case 8.
Just pick any hole, we'll pick this one, and measure from the center of that hole, directly across to the center of hole right across from it, Again we'll take our tape measure, center to center, it's right at 6 and a half inches. So 8 on 6 and a half inch bolt pattern. This wheel does use the wheel lug size of a half inch by 20 or 9 sixteenths by 18. The weight capacity on this wheel is 3,750 pounds, and the last measurement will be the pilot hole diameter which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel. This is what goes on the hub on your trailer, diameter of that opening ins going to be right at 5.12 inches. But that should do it for the review on part number 660865MBPVD.
This is the Taskmaster 16 inch by 6 inch modular steel trailer wheel with the black PVD finish and the 8 on 6 and a half inch bolt pattern.

Not sure why 2 of the rims had a rubber valve stem and the other 2 had a metal stem! 695753
Review from a similar Black PVD in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I am happy with the wheels, the finish is beautiful and durable. I bought the wheels so I could run a larger higher quality tire. The wheel tire combo is overkill for my application, but what I had just met minimum requirements. I was happy to happy to find an upgrade that allowed me to put a little more rubber on the road. The upgraded wheel tire combo allowed me to boost the power level on my trailer brakes compared to my old tire wheel combo. 735991

Wheel to be the Spare Tire/wheel for Montana HC 5'th wheel. The black color of this item will "match" the style/color of wheels that are in service. Quality is VERY good and the Black PVD finish on the wheel is even better than expected. etrailer web site very user friendly and helpful. 385533
Review from a similar Black PVD in Trailer Tires and Wheels
No problems what so ever. They balanced out great and with the new tires; I can't believe how much smoother the trailer now pulls. I love the look and I don’t have to worry about them rusting for years to come. 336327
