Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish

Maxion Wheels Vesper Acrylic Enamel Finish

This wheel has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.


Beveled Stud Holes

The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.


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.


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - 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.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Rims packaged very good! Shipped super quick, that's a plus. Pricing is in line. Why'd I knock off two stars? I ordered 5 rims, they are all the same size but I got 2 different brands, with different valve stems. Now this probably wouldn't bother some people...it probably wouldn't have bothered me if I were putting them on a work trailer. But my enclosed trailer is pretty sweet and I'm a bit OCD with it. I needed to get tires back on to get it moved so shipping back was not an option unfortunately.

The only lights that will fit on our trailer. Glad you have them in stock!

  • Replacement 16 x 6 Inch Wheel for a Big Tex 14GN Trailer
    For your 2021 Big Tex 14GN trailer you are going to want the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel item # TA65VR. This 16" x 6" rim is black and has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. This rim has a 3,860 lbs capacity which matches up perfectly with your Dexter 7,000 lbs axles. You don't need a 4,400 lbs capacity rim on a 7,000 lbs axles. You would be over paying for capacity you will never use. You will also need the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long item # AM20906. If you are...

  • Is There Black Version of Taskmaster Steel Modular 16 inch Wheel TA55VR
    We have a black version of the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16 x 6 Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver Item # TA55VR with the part # TA65VR. This would fit a tire size of 235/80R16 like the # LHWL401 as well since it is 6 inch wide.

  • Do Wheels Have PSI Ratings?
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # TA65VR and the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black item # AM20761B you referenced do not have individual PSI's because they do not have a tire or valve stem installed. The tire you would add to these wheels and the valve stem would determine the PSI. The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E item # AM10248 would be a good option. This tire has a PSI of 90.

  • Where is Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Manufactured
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR was either made in Mexico or Brazil. When I reached out to my contact at Taskmaster he said those are the places that manufacture their wheels and without seeing a specific wheel he wouldn't be able to give more direct confirmation.

  • Recommended Trailer Rim With 8 on 6-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern for 235/80-16 10-Ply Rated Tire
    A 235/80-16 tire will fit on a 16 x 6, 6-1/2, 7, or 7-1/2 inch wide wheel. We have tons of wheels in that size range that have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern. If you wanted a simple powder coated white spoke wheel, the Dexstar # AM20750 16 x 6 wheel would work great. The wheel has a 3750 lb per wheel/7500 lb per axle capacity. If you didn't want a wheel that's so basic, the Taskmaster # TA65VR black powder coat 16 x 6 steel modular wheel would be a great choice. This wheel also...

  • What Is The Bolt Pattern Of Vesper Steel Trailer Wheel TA65VR?
    The Vesper wheel # TA65VR you were looking at have an 8 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. I'll say that these have a slim chance of working on a vehicle as trailer wheels like # TA65VR have zero offset where typical vehicle wheels have offset to allow the wheel and tire to clear the body/suspension. I included a video of the # TA65VR for you to take a look at.

  • Will the Taskmaster 16" Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Hold 95 Psi
    Yes, the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # TA65VR can handle 95 psi, you just need a metal valve stem like the Metal Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906.

  • Recommended Wheel for ST255/85R16 Spare Tire
    A tire like the Goodyear Endurance ST255/85R16 requires a wheel that is at least 6-1/2" wide. This means that you will not be able to use the # TA65VR for your spare tire since it is only 16" x 6". Instead, I recommend the Taskmaster Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02665865HDBML. This wheel is black with the same 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and measures 16" x 6-1/2" so it will fit your ST255/85R16 tire. Although it is a spare, I would check to see what wheels you currently...

  • Is The Vesper 16x6 Mod Wheel Available In Black?
    We do indeed have a Vesper by Maxion Wheels 16" x 6" Mod Wheel in black. For this, you will want the # TA65VR. This will also have the 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and includes the valve stem.

  • How to Determine if 16 Inch Black Wheel With 8 Bolt Holes Will Fit
    The only way to know for sure if the 16 inch, 8 lug, black steel wheels we offer will fit your trailer is if you know your current wheel's bolt pattern (there isn't any type of specific fit for wheels on a Kaufman trailer). If you have an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern there are two options: - Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # TA65VR - Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # AM20761B All you need to do to determine...

  • Recommended Wheel For A 2021 Big Tex 14gn
    The Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16 inch x 6 inch Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # TA65VR will fit on your 2021 Big Tex 14 GN. If you rim is 16 inch x 6 inch with a bolt pattern of 8 on 6-1/2 this will work for you. When you measure your wheel and it's not the correct size please reach back out to me and I can find you the correct size. I attached a review video link below.

  • Could Dexstar Trailer Wheel part # AM20761B Fit Hub Bore of 4.917 Inches
    The part # TA65VR has a pilot diameter of 5.12 inches so it would easily fit over your hub pilot. The part # AM20761B does have a pilot of 4.9 inches but as close as you are to it I believe it would fit.

  • What Axles To Use For Braking Axles On A Triple Axle Trailer
    Hello Rick, those are great questions, and I can definitely help. To answer your first question, usually we recommend that all shackles are the same size. That said, if you do need to intermix different sizes, you certainly can. Like you said, as long as both sides are equal, and the suspension is correctly aligned, you will be good to go. I do recommend keeping them all the same length if you can, just for sake of simplicity and cost effectiveness. If you ever need to replace components...

  • Recommended Trailer Wheel Compatible with 2015/75R-17.5 Tires
    The Taskmaster Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR will not work with your Goodyear Tires because it is the incorrect size. This wheel is 16 inches and your tires call for a 17.5 inch wheel. For that similar look your will instead need the Taskmaster Modular Wheel w/ +0.08 Offset - 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" Rim # TA35ZR. You will also need the Flange Wheel Nut - 5/8" # 95188 for installation to your lug bolts. I've also linked the page to all your 17-1/2 inch wheel options with the 8...

  • Will Bridgestone 205R16 Size Tire Fit 16 Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel
    Your Bridgestone 205R16 should fit just fine on the 16" x 6" Taskmaster Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA65VR. As long as your tire is rated for at least 3,500 lbs then the wheel will be able to withstand that much weight as well since it has a max capacity of 3,860 lbs.
