Question:
Im looking for a suitable replacement for an Arcwheel TMXM 6X16 3500lb dually trailer wheel. Do you have any suggestions? It will go on a 2008 Starlite 32ft low pro gooseneck.

To replace your 16" x 6" dually trailer wheel, I recommend the Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel item # TA56FR. This wheel has a 3,860 lbs capacity, a 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, and a 4.77" pilot diameter.
I wasn't able to get any specifics off of the information you gave me regarding the pilot hole so you'll need to take a measurement of one of your other wheels to determine if this is the one you need.
The pilot hole on a wheel is the big center hole right in the middle of the wheel. It fits over the hub. It can be tough to measure these with the wheel still on the trailer so you will want to remove the wheel and then it will be easier to measure. The best way to measure it would be to use digital or dial calipers like item # PTW80157.
I have a couple of more options for pilot hole sized dually wheels I have listed below:
Pilot diameter: 4.88" - item # MX89FR
Pilot diameter: 4.75" item # AM20783

Hey, were you able to measure the pilot hole on your Starlite trailer’s wheel to see if the Vesper dual wheel was the right fit? Once you had that measurement, it should have made it easier to confirm which option matched best. Your update could help others trying to replace similar dually wheels.
