Today we're going to review part number 482EZ. This is the Excalibur Chrome-Plated Steel Trailer Wheel Center Cap. This is designed to fit wheels that have a 4.82 pilot hole diameter. This is a rust-proof, chrome-plated steel cap, has a removable center plug in the top. This chrome cap adds a nice, decorative finishing touch to your trailer wheels. As I mentioned, this is designed to fit on wheels that have the pilot hole size of 4.82 inches.
The dimensions on the height of this cap, the very bottom to the top, is going to be right at 4 3/8-inches tall. I happened to pull a wheel that uses this pilot hole diameter size, it's an 8-lug design wheel. Usually the 8-lug wheels have the larger pilot holes. The pilot hole is this large hole in the center of the wheel, goes over the hub on your trailer. The measurement on this needs to be 4.82 inches for this cap to fit in there. The way you would install this cap is, before you put the wheel onto your trailer ...
this cap has a little lip to it . you put the cap from the back of the wheel out to the front, and then that lip will hold it in place. That way, when you go to mount this up on your trailer and put your lugs in and tighten it down, it will hold that cap securely in place and nobody can take it. It won't come off. I mentioned the plug, it's in the very middle here. The reason that is, these caps are designed to go on axles that use EZ lube axles.
The EZ lube axles, on the spindle at the very end, they'll have a greased zerk fitting that allows you to grease it without having to take the hub and that all apart. What you want to do is, when you have a wheel on an EZ lube axle, you want to be able to access that zerk fitting to grease it, so that's why that cap center plug's removable. There's a little cut-out right in there that you'll be able to see that you could stick a screwdriver in there, and if you pop it just like that, you'll pop that center cap out, and you can access the grease zerk fitting, grease your bearings up, and then when you're done, just go ahead and pop your center cap right back into place, and you're ready to go. Quantity, this comes with one center cap and the center plug. That should do it for the review on part number 482EZ, the Excalibur Chrome-Plated Steel Trailer Wheel Center Cap to fit the 4.82 pilot hole diameter wheels.

I ordered 4 and one had a small dent that I did not notice until I installed.
Jenny N - 12/28/2021Second order and always super quick to get it on the way. This particular hub was almost and exact match to our Keystone Alpine 8 lug wheel hub. When a local shop damaged the hubs with a torque wrench while replacing our tires we needed to find a set of hubs. Being a 2011 5th wheel Keystone no longer supplies the hubs (sounds like BS to me) but these are probably cheaper than they would be anyway. Good quality hub IMO and look great. Of course time will tell if they hold up to the weather etc but the plating looks good and should be fine. Would definitely buy from here again.
LarryFlew - 07/10/2018Picture looked exactly like what was on our trailer that got damaged. After we got them we found they where slightly longer so we ordered 2 more. Glad they have decent shipping prices. Very nice product for the price. Would certainly recommend them and would buy from them again.

Fit perfectly and as always etrailer came through with the save
Great customer support and product. Hard to find this size for an old truck. Thanks.

Hub cap for my 5th wheel...Didn't think I could find one but etrailer.com came through for me and it worked fine. Many Thanks.
Finish on the axle covers was high. Got to the wheel was good. Spare center covers were heavy chrome finish even though they were plastic in construction.
They look much better than the old covers that were damaged by bearing burn out on our RV.
Three of the 4 center cap with plug were dented. The plugs were all fine. I think the dents occurred during shipment with the 24 lug nuts. I have requested that the center caps be replaced and I will send back the dented ones. The lug nuts all looked great.
my fifth wheel was missing one of these, this one isn't a stainless cap like the rest on my trailer but it was the only one that would fit.
great product, perfect fit in stock steel wheels (four spare tire wheels) for 2015 Chevy getting rid of those ugly stock mag wheels.
Center caps exactly as described. Quick delivery. Reasonably priced. Excellent vendor.
Received them very quickly and they look great. I've never had any problems with etrailer and will continue to use them for all my needs.
They're still holding up nicely. Still bright and no pitting. Even after being covered with mud from a trip to a Montana auction.*
Product was received in good time. We had tried to find this at the local rv store and they couldn't find what we needed. Your web site gave great info and easy access.
Center caps worked awesome for me and great company to work with!!
Paul M - 06/04/2022I called customer service about this product and they were very helpful in making the right decision. It is what it says it is, however, I would change the picture to show that it is actual chrome.
Great site to search and find EXACTLY what I needed, though I did have to read the reviews, responses, and FAQ to get all the specific info.
Just what I needed. Perfect fit. Snug but not too tight and not sloppy.
Perfect fit! Will be ordering again in the future.
Need a technical assistant, instead of just sales.
Great!!!
