Question:

I know that these rims are for trailers, but will they work on a 1954 3100 Advance Design Pickup with a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern?

Expert Reply:

The Dexstar 15" Conventional Steel Wheel, # AM20514, are basically the same wheels that were used on vintage 1940's and 1950's trucks and people quite often use them on vintage trucks today, but we do not recommend using them on trucks that see regular public road use.

The steel wheels we offer are designated for trailer use only and they are not tested on automotive applications. The biggest risk that you would be taking on is that if something were to go wrong with these wheels, then they would not be covered under warranty if they are used on an engine powered vehicle.

If you still choose to go this route, then some additional accessories that work well with this particular wheel are our Baby Moon Center Caps, # AM981306, Black Rubber Valve Stem, # AM20903 and a wheel lock set, # RG01-150.
