Features to know about

Built to Handle Real Loads: 1,250-lb Capacity Steel Wheel

When you’re carrying real weight, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel has the muscle for it. The 12" x 4" rim is rated at 1,250 lbs and built from sturdy steel that meets DOT standards. It’s designed for a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, uses 1/2"-20 wheel bolts, and has a 3.19" pilot diameter with a 0 offset—solid specs that keep your setup balanced and secure under load.

Rust Resistance That Lasts: E-Coat Primer and Black Powder Coat Finish

Moisture and road grime don’t stand a chance against this finish. The wheel goes through a 2-step process that starts with an e-coat primer and ends with a black powder coat layer. That combo seals the steel from corrosion so the wheel stays strong and sharp-looking even after exposure to tough conditions.

Straightforward Fit and Compatibility: Standard 5 on 4-1/2 Pattern

Getting the right fit is easy with the common 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and standard pilot diameter of 3.19". The matching wheel bolt size of 1/2"-20 keeps things simple when choosing lug nuts or accessories. It’s a clean, precise setup that makes replacement or upgrade work smooth and predictable.

Clean Look That Complements Any Setup: Black Modular Design

The modular steel design gives this wheel a tough, purposeful look that fits well on any trailer setup. The black powder coat adds contrast and hides brake dust or wear better than lighter finishes, keeping everything looking neat without extra effort.

Determining Bolt Pattern

1. Count the lug holes

Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).

Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug

2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.

Center to Center
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"

2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

This 12" diameter x 4" wide steel trailer wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and a 3.19" pilot diameter. Rust resistant black powder coat finish.

Just what I needed. Already have them mounted on my water trailer. I have had the trailer for 37 years and finally have the proper wheels on it. Great price, free and fast shipping.g



by:

The rims you sent has some marks on the finish, which I'm not very pleased about. The tires are from 2024, and while AI mentioned they are still good despite being a year and a half old, I find it disappointing that your company would do this. Additionally, I spoke with two different people in chat, and both assured me that the tires would be mounted on the rims, but that was not done.



by:

Wheel are nice and made in USA. Boxing was sufficient.

HOWEVER, it was shipped UPS and the box came torn and the one wheel had several spots where the powder coat was chipped.

They really need to stop using UPS as they just don't care about handling items carefully.
The driver put in on a cement porch so loudly that I heard it from another floor away inside the house.



by:

Looks very well made and capable of handling the travel trailer weight. The OEM wheel was leaking at its welded seam. Matches the original design and appearance.



by:

Not a lot to say - it seems to be holding the spare tire very effectively. The spare has been used, so it worked! It rotated and worked like a wheel should. The wheels on the RV did in fact, go round and round, all through the town (and country). I would buy it again.



by:

Nice looking wheels at a great price!! These really dressed up my old boat trailer, couldn’t be happier!! The service was awesome and shipping was fast. I’ll be doing more business with etrailer.

Perfect replacement for the stock wheels on my dad's 35 year old trailer. Hauled 3 loads of mulch already. Great product and well packaged. Outstanding customer service as well. Thank you!

Exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price, easy to navigate your website, Extremely fast shipping, Not to mention free shipping, I ordered on Sunday morning, I'm on the East Coast and they were delivered Wednesday afternoon. Could not be happier. thank you, Donald

Excellent communication and customer se rvice!

I found out from a local tire chain that their distrubtor stopped making rims this size. But etrailer is always trustworthy and got the rims to me fast so I could go camping the same weekend. Thanks!



by:

Excellent web-site with everything one could need and plenty of help. I did have to change my order when I found out the tire I wanted didn’t come with the rim I wanted and I had to but them separate. I bought the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black and, the Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E. I haven’t had them mounted yet.



by:

Great service and great products as well. Prompt, efficient, and great product as well.



by:

Just the right fit for my tow dolly. Shipping was about a week to CA, and the price was reasonable. Great customer service over the phone.

  • Solution For Needing Higher Speed Rated Trailer Tire Size 5.30-12
    We have trailer tires in the size of 5.30-12 that have a higher speed rating like the part # TT53012C but we do not have them mounted on a wheel. This tire is rated for 81 mph. So you could go with the tire and have them mounted on your current wheels or go with new wheels too and have them mounted locally like with # AM20153.

  • Black 12" Wheel Recommendation with 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern and 1/2"-20 Stud Fitment
    Hey Jr, The closest we have to what you're looking for is the Black Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim # AM20153 which has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and works with 1/2"-20 studs. The vast majority of our wheels use inches for the dimensions (although there are a few exceptions) so if you're in a part of the world that uses millimeters for wheel measurements, you'll want to source your wheels locally in order to get the correct parts.

  • Availability of Dexstar Solid Center Steel Wheel in Black
    I reached out to Dexstar and they said they don't offer this wheel in black. It is possible they did in the past, but the white Dexstar Solid Center Steel Wheel # AM20102DX you ordered is currently the only option available.

  • Will 12" Wheels Fit Disc Brakes on Trailer
    The only way you're getting a 12" wheel like # AM20153 on there is if you have a 2,000 lb axle and an 8" hub/rotor like the # KOD27FR. More than likely you have a 10" hub/rotor with a 3,500 lb axle. If that is the case, it will still depend on the style and brand of disc brakes that you have. For example, the Kodiak # KOD67FR can fit a 13" wheel like the # AM20245. The Dexter # T2HRCM10DAC works with 14" and 15" wheels. The Kodiak # K2R35D with a slip-on rotor also only works with 14"...

  • Are Dexstar Wheels Made in the USA
    Hey Brad! Yes, Dexstar wheels like the # AM20153 are still made in the USA. An ST145/R12 tire like the # AM10140 will fit this rim. These will be able to replace your factory wheels as long as you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

  • High-Speed 4.80R12 Tire Recommendation for Motorcycle Coffin Trailer
    The best option for your current setup is the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C as you noted due to the 81 mph speed rating. With that being said, it is never good to run tires faster than their speed rating because then you run the risk of overheating and possible tire failure so I can't really recommend going faster than 81 mph with this tire. The Taskmaster is a great option that will hold up really well with your weight. Each tire has a weight rating of 990 lbs at 90...

  • Recommended 5.30-12 Radial Trailer Tire with Wheel
    I do have an option for you but the only radial tire option we have in a 5.30-12 is the Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire part # TT53012C which does not come pre-mounted. That said, we do have some great wheel options which you can add to your purchase such as the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel part # AM20153. You'd have to take the two to a shop for mounting, balancing is not needed.

  • Pilot Diameter Hole Dimension for 12 Inch Diameter Trailer Rims with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch Lug Pattern
    Yes, everyone of the 12 inch diameter trailer wheels we offer that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the part # AM20153 that you referenced have a pilot diameter of 3.19 inches. I attached a link to a page that has all of the rims you are interested in listed. They all are 12 inch diameter with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

  • Recommended Wheels for Camper With ST145/R12 Tires
    A trailer tire that is size 145/R12 like the Kenda # AM10130 will fit a rim that is 12" x 4" and there are a couple of options I recommend checking out, depending on the style you want. I do want to note that you will need to make sure you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, and if you are unsure you can take a look at the linked help article which details how to find this. This bolt pattern is very common so it is likely you have it but you will want to verify it. Once you know your bolt...

  • Recommended Wheels to Go With Taskmaster 5.30 x 12 Tires on Haul Master Trailer
    I may have a solution for you, but we do not have any 12" trailer wheels with a metric bolt pattern. However, typically trailer hubs will have a standard bolt pattern that is measured in inches, so a standard 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern wheel should work for you. I will link an article on how to measure the bolt pattern on your wheel if you cannot find it anywhere on your hubs or current wheels. I recommend using the Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20153 which has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern...

  • Why Does The Wheel My 4.80-12 Tire Is On Measure 13" In Diameter?
    It is definitely not common for a 12" tire like your 4.80-12 to be installed on a 13" wheel, but depending on where you measured the wheel it may look like a 13" wheel even though it is truly 12". If you take a look at the 30 second mark of the included video showing Jeff measuring the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20153 you can see that to measure the diameter of the wheel you measure inside to inside of the bead seat, and not the outside...

  • Best Trailer Wheel That Will Fit A 4.80-12 Tire
    It sounds you are looking for a new trailer wheel for your 4.80-12 trailer tires. Your 13 inch is like just a 12 inch wheel, but you may be measuring the overall diameter. Trailer wheel diameter is actually measured from bead seat to bead seat rather than overall, so a 12 inch diameter wheel may look more like a 13 inch diameter wheel. I'm guessing your wheel bolt pattern is actually 5 on 4-1/2 because 5 on 4.25 is not a common trailer wheel bolt pattern. I've attached a help article on...

  • Will a 4.80x12 Tire work on a Dexstar mini Mod Trailer Rim 5 on 4-1/2?
    A 4.80x12 trailer tire will work on the Dextar Mini Mod Rim 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, # AM20153. Depending on what the primary use of the trailer will be, you will want to consider load range. The load range indicates the horizontal and sidewall strength of a tire. The load range letter correlates to the number of plies and load pressure in pounds per square inch (psi). The functional application would determine a recommendation, which I'd be happy to help you with. With the Dextar...
