Question:

I like the black steel wheels and want to put hub caps on them. I also need new tires. Can I order from you ready to bolt on my trailer? Its an old retired Penski car hauler. Thanks.

We do offer many popular combinations of trailer wheels and tires already mounted together by the distributor and these will be ready to mount on your Penski car hauler trailer.

These wheel/tire items, all shown on the linked page, are not dynamically balanced in the way that vehicle tires are, but this step is optional with trailer tires. The distributor mounts them together with the tire's low spot matched to the wheel's high spot. This provides a degree of balancing that is usually just fine for most trailer applications.

The item you referenced, Dexstar 15 x 6-inch Conventional Steel Wheel part # AM20504, can take Baby Moon hub cap # AM90086. This wheel accepts 15-inch tires of several sizes, 205/75-15 and 225/75-15, and it has a 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern.

The wheel/tire item # AM32352 combines this wheel with a ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire. The combination is rated for 1820-lbs
