The HWT in the name of the Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 # AM22646 you were looking at is the companies name as an abreveation. The full name is Hi-Spec Wheel and Tire.

The # AM22646 has a load rating of 2830lbs per wheel, and using 4 wheels would give you a combined load rating of 11320lbs which more than exceeds the 10000lbs you mentioned your 5th wheel trailer weights.

To make sure the # AM22646 fits your trailer I recommend measuring the bolt pattern of your current wheels using the included help article. The # AM22646 uses the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.

If you are also wanting to replace your tires, just let me know the size of your current tires and I would be happy to make a recommendation for you.

I included a video of the # AM22646 for you to take a look at.
