Video Transcript for Review of the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Vesper 16 inch by six inch white modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is a heavy duty steel wheel. This one has the modular design with a nice bright white finish. And the modular design is the one that has the round holes that go all the way around the wheel. The finish is a white acrylic enamel finish.

This will help resist chipping and other damage better than the standard powder coat finishes. And the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment and then it covers an e-coat primer layer. This will give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than a thousand hours. This wheel also has the beveled stud holds, which will help keep your wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. It eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts.

Also, if you notice right over here, the valve stem is included, it's preinstalled in the wheel. Now this wheel does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll fit this pilot hole diameter, which is 5.12 inches. So you wanna make sure that center cap you choose has a diameter 5.12 inches.

Now this wheel does meet the SAE J1204 standards. Few dimensions on this, we're gonna measure the diameter and also the width. Now, when you measure the diameter on a wheel, it's always measured inside to inside. You don't wanna measure end to end, it's inside to inside. So if we take our tape measure and we go inside to inside, there's your 16 inch diameter and the width will be the same way, it's bead seat to bead seat.

In other words, when the tire sits on here, the bead seats is where the tire will sit. So you're gonna measure inside to inside, right at six inches wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is gonna be an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, eight lugs, it's pretty easy because you can see the lug holes go right across from each other. So it makes it easy to measure. You just pick any hole and measure from the center of that hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this one, it'll measure six and a half inches. So it makes it an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20 or nine sixteenths by 18. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 3,750 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Vesper 16 inch by six inch white modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern..
