Hello Stuart, thanks for getting in touch. We have a great option for you. According to the Dexstar catalogue, the 17-228 is a silver mod wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and no offset. We have a very similar silver mod wheel from Taskmaster, as well as a tire for you. Here is what I recommend:

- Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # TA79RR

- Rambler ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TA89GR

We do not offer this tire and wheel as a pre-mounted combo, so you will need to have a shop mount it. Feel free to leave a reply below with any other questions or comments and I am happy to get back to you.

Hey Stuart, how did the Taskmaster silver mod wheel and Rambler tire work out for your Waverunner trailer? Did the fit match what you needed for the Dexstar replacement? Your update could make it easier for the next person looking for the same setup.
