Hey John. We have three different black 15" x5" Dexstar rims. I have listed them below:

Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black Powder Coat item # DEX54FR

Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black Powder Coat item # AM20440

Dexstar Steel Galvstar Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pebbled Black item # DEX97FR

Each one of these wheels has a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern and a 2,200 lbs capacity.

What tire size are you needing?

@JohnP Right on! That's exactly what they're called. I've got the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel item # AM20504, however its a 15" x 6" wheel. I don't have this in a 15" x 5".

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
