Features to know about

Built for Heavy Loads and Highway Confidence: 1,725-lb Capacity Steel Wheel

When you’re towing serious weight, a strong wheel makes all the difference. The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel handles up to 1,725 lbs, giving you a solid margin for heavy cargo or long-distance hauls. It meets DOT standards, so you can run it with confidence mile after mile.

Rust Protection That Lasts: 2-Step Black Powder Coat Finish

Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance here. This steel wheel goes through a 2-step finishing process that includes an e-coat primer and a durable black powder coat. The result is a clean look that fights off rust and moisture, holding up well in tough weather or humid storage conditions.

Simple Fitment Without Guesswork: 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern with 3.19" Pilot

Getting the right fit is straightforward thanks to the common 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, standard 1/2"-20 wheel bolts, and a 3.19" pilot diameter. The zero offset keeps everything centered over the hub for balanced performance, and the lug-centric design means the wheel stays tight and true once mounted.

Strong Modular Design for Everyday Towing

The modular spoke layout gives this wheel both a sturdy structure and a classic look that works well on any trailer setup. Steel construction provides rigidity under load and steady tracking on the road—ideal for anyone who values durability and dependable performance trip after trip.

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"

Man, I feel frustrated for you! I have already let our customer service team know about this, and they will be reaching out soon.



by:

I was very happy in which the rim arrived. Both rims didn’t have a scratch on them. I mounted my tires on them the very night I received my order. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!



by:

It's a wheel. Looks better in person than on the website. Has a nice smooth finish and etrailer did a great job of packing for Shipp.



by:

It's not so much the product but the timely efficient service. I'm confident there isn't a better place out there to service ones trailer needs.



by:

Looks sharp on my trailer as a spare. Quick shipping!



by:

Great looking wheels, I was going to repaint a pair I currently had but these look better and were priced very competitively with other places. The lightning fast shipping only made the process that much faster. I'll buy again if the need arises.



by:

Quality wheels, reasonable price and free quick shipping. What else can you ask for? I have ordered their trailer parts several times over the last few years.
A+



by:

Rims arrived quickly, decent rims for the price considering free shipping.
Have not run them yet so 4 stars.



by:

I was looking for black trailer wheels for my off road trailer project and these are perfect and look beautiful.



by:

I wanted to take a second and say etrailer is a great company. I originally bought 3 wheels for my trailer and 2 were damaged upon arrival. ETrailer sent me 2 new wheels without hesitation. I would refer anyone to etrailer for there trailer and boating needs.



by:

I have not installed the tires and rims yet. I’m sure they will be excellent, as it was dealing with the staff at ETRAILER My original order was on backorder. When the combined tire and rim didn’t appear to ever arrive, the staff at ETRAILER solved my problem. They shipped me the rim and tire separately and arrive in five days. They met my dateline to allow me to go on my motorcycle trip. I could not be more pleased. Outstanding customer service. Will send picture at later date, once installed.



by:

The three 13"x4.5" Dexter Black Modular trailer wheels I ordered were delivered in excellent condition thanks to the Great pack job by Caleb P and thanks to all others involved at etrailer.



by:

These worked perfectly for my 3,000lb utility trailer. Fast delivery. Well packaged. Great customer service!



by:

George J, EVERYTHING that I have purchased from eTrailer has been great. I truly enjoy shopping and purchasing from eTrailer. Happy New Year!



by:

Nice rim for my spare on my trailer. Good price and fast shipping with plenty of seller comunication. Will buy more products from them.



by:

Super satisfied, Fast shipping so I could camp that weekend!



by:

Competitive prices, fast delivery. However, when UPS delivered the box, it had been opened. The tire was considerably deformed, but did not appear damaged. I contacted customer service and was advised to set it out in the sun for a while. After 2 hours, the tire was only slightly less deformed. It was nearly impossible to inflate since the bead would not make contact with the wheel rim. I was able to finally inflate the tubeless tire by installing a tube.

Once I finally got the tire to inflate, it has been fine. Since it is the spare for my trailer it has not actually been on the ground, but it has not lost any pressure.



by:

Great product



by:

Irregular painting, poor paint job, grey primer showing where under sprayed. Poor customer service had to push hard for return/exchange. Be surprised if posted. Will use [online]n next time better return policy will not have to fight for return over defect. Ordered two wheels both defective…..

Thank you for sharing your experience with the rims and sending pictures. We sent out new rims and I wondered if you any other feedback to provide on the new rims.



by:

Wheels themselves are as expected. Round, steel, easy to mount, and I'm sure they'll have a long life. HOWEVER if you care about the finish, perhaps look elsewhere. One had a small imperfection on the outside lip, and a small nick in the paint.

The other wheel of the two I purchased looked like someone spun it on a tire machine with the metal duckbill on the lip. Living in the northeast, things rust. Buying new wheels with damaged finish means they'll rust sooner. Yes, I touched them up with some fresh paint, but it's still a massive disappointment in the quality of the rim and or how it was packaged.

  • Does etrailer Mount Wheels and Tires
    Hi Jimm; mounting wheels and tires is not something we are able to do. The only way to get them mounted from us is if it is listed as a wheel and tire combo. If you purchase the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20245 and Karrier ST185/80R13 # KE68KV you will have to mount it yourself or take it to a local shop.

  • Looking for Replacement 13 inch Trailer Wheel that Could Fit 2011 Tahoe Q7i Trailer
    Hey Ronnie, I attached a link to a page that has all of the 13 inch trailer wheels we offer down below. Basically it will come down to whether or not you have a 4 lug or a 5 lug bolt pattern as to what will fit. If you have a 4 lug wheel you'd want the part # AM20242 or if it's 5 lug you'd want the part # AM20245.

  • How Do I Determine What Wheel is Needed for 5X8 Trailer
    That depends first on your bolt pattern. The item you linked to, # AM20259 is a 13" wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. You need to identify if you have a 4 or 5 lug pattern on your trailer. 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...

  • 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"...

    Hey Jim! Yes, your typical ST175/80R13 tire will fit a 13" x 4-1/2" wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20245. The tires will also fit the # AM20234 you ordered. What trailer are you setting up?

  • Replacement Wheels and Tires For a 1967 Aristocrat Lo Liner Trailer 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern
    It sounds like the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10208 is the tire you are looking for. The difference for radial vs bias comes down to how you will be using it. Radials are best for on road and highway use, bias is best for off-road trailers. You will want to measure your trailer to ensure the tire will fit correctly. This tire has a diameter of 24.7" and a width of 7.2". You want to ensure you will still have at least 1" of side wall clearance and 3" of vertical clearance...

  • Recommended ST185/80r13 Radial Tire for Trailer
    Modular wheels like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20245 will have more visual appeal and have spokes or holes in the wheel surface where a conventional wheel like the # AM20214 won't have those openings and is generally a more plain wheel. With that said, we do have several ST185/80r13 tires available, just none as a combo that come with the wheel included currently. I recommend taking a look at the Kenda Karrier ST185/80R13 Radial...

    Our highest rated wheel for a 13" x 4-1/2" Rim with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern is the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel, # AM20245. This has a nice rust resistant black powder coat finish, is made in the USA and meets DOT standards. This has a capacity of 1,725 lbs. and makes for a great option for a spare tire wheel for a trailer. With over 1,100 customers providing feedback, this option currently has a 4.8 rating.

  • Recommended Black 13" Trailer Wheels with 5 Bolt Pattern
    We currently offer a few different black wheel options with 13" diameter and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel part # AM20214 and Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel part # AM20245. The finish however is powder coat. I like the Dexstar Conventional because it can be used with the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap part # AM90086.

    The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20245 has a pilot hole diameter of 3.19 inches. That is not an issue with your trailer that has a 2-7/8 inch pilot on the current wheels with everything else the same. ST trailer wheels and tires are not hub centric where the pilot hole size difference would be an issue. They are lug-centric meaning that the wheel is actually centered for balance based on the lugs that hold the bolt pattern tight. It...

If you would rather have a basic white wheel then the # AM20232 would also work. If you need a 4 on 4 bolt pattern you can use the # AM20222DX for white or # AM20242 for black.

    I have a hub replacement option for you, but the 4 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern is pretty uncommon. We do not currently carry any wheels with this bolt pattern and I was unable to find any online. The easiest option is going to be to replace the hubs with ones that use a more common bolt pattern like 4 on 4" or 5 on 4-1/2". To determine the correct replacement hubs you will need to determine which bearings your current hub uses. To do this you will need to remove of your current hubs and look...
