The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20746 that you referenced is a 16 inch diameter wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. I am assuming this is the same style of wheel that will look similar to what you currently have.

Now to determine if this rim will fit what you have on your trailer you will need to make sure that your trailer tire size is designed to fit a 16 inch rim. You will need to find the size of the tire stamped on the sidewall. If the size ends in 16 then you need a 16 inch rim like the one you referenced. I attached a picture of what the size will look like.

Now to determine if this rim will bolt up to your trailer's hubs you need to determine what bolt pattern you need. To do this check out the FAQ article I attached on determining bolt patterns.

Feel free to send me a picture of what you have on your trailer.
