Load Rating of 15 x 6 Alloy 6 Lug Wheels

Updated 06/25/2012 | Published 06/22/2012

Question:

Do you have load ratings for the trailer wheels? I need a spare for my car hauler, which has 15X6 6-lug alloy wheels original from the factory. These are smallish for the application, but adequate as the trailer GVW is 10,000 pounds on the 5,000-lb axles. Id buy another wheel from the factory, but they are really proud of them and theres really no reason for that, and I can keep this as a spare so it doesnt need to match the others. I could go with steel, but Id rather avoid the weight if I can. You have a number of alloy wheels in the appropriate size, but theres nothing about load ratings listed and I suspect some may be lighter duty than what I need. Thanks for any information.

The Americana Aluminum 7-Star Spoke Trailer Wheel you referenced, # AM22654 as well as the rest of the 15 x 6, 6 lug alloy wheels we offer all have a 2830 lb weight capacity. This would be more than enough capacity for your 10000 lb capacity trailer.
