Question:

What wheel do I need for my 1972 Prowler. It came with Dexstar 15inch 4 lug 9.44inch with circular center wheels, but I only see the STAR pattern center on your website. There is a raised section on the hub that just fits inside the circular center on the original wheels.

Expert Reply:

It sounds like the wheel on your 1972 Prowler travel trailer is a hub centric wheel that is secured to the hub with a wheel bolt like the flat head wheel bolt, # 090753. A hub centric wheel centers on the raised portion of the hub that you mentioned and not on a coned wheel bolt or lug nut. If this is the case, we do not stock a replacement wheel for your hub at this time.

If your wheel uses coned wheel bolts like the 60 degree wheel bolts, # RG02-020, or coned lug nuts like the Trailer Wheel Lug Nut, # CE11051, and the raised section on your hub is less than 4-3/8 inches, you can use the Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel, # AM20395.

I produced a short video showing this wheel and the measurement I took for you, as well as adding the dimension to a photo of the wheel, # AM20395.
