Question:

My trailer currently has Dexstar wheels model 017-232 15x6 5x4.5 White wheels with round openings and red and blue pinstriping. Has that model been discontinued? If so, what is the closest match?

There are Dexstar 15" x 6" wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and round openings (called mini mods), and are model 017-232, but without any pinstriping. So they are the exact same thing but for that pinstriping, and are available in three different colors - white, silver, or black:

- White: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM20551

- Silver: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM20537

- Black: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM20545

For a valve stem you can use the Americana # AM20906.
