Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Americana 15 inch by five inch AM03 Series Gunmetal Gray Machined Aluminum Trailer Wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this aluminum wheel is very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. As we mentioned, this is an AM03 series wheel, which you can see, is a five open spoke design and a gunmetal gray finish. And if you look around the edge of the spokes, they do use a machine silver face on the edge here.

Provides a nice bold, sleek look. And in the gunmetal gray finish on the wheel is a nice, bright, glossy finish. They do use the clear coating on both the front, and even the back of the wheel to protect the finish. And a few dimensions on this, the diameter on this wheel is 15 inches, and that's always measured inside to inside. So to measure that, if we take a tape measure, put it on inside to inside, you can see there's your 15 inch diameter.

The width, this is a five inch wide wheel, and when you measure that, it's the same way. It's bead seat to bead seat. So inside to inside, there's your five and a half inch width, or five inch width. Bolt pattern on this wheel is a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel like this, that is a odd number of lugs, in this case, five, then since the holes don't line up, what you want to do is pick any hole, let's say this one, and then you're gonna measure across to either one of the holes right across from it.

But when you measured it, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whichever hole you measure to. So center to the furthest edge is gonna be four and a half inches. So this bolt pattern is a five lug, four and a half inch bolt pattern. This wheel does use the wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. Weight capacity on this wheel is 2,200 pounds.

And one of the nice features I like about this wheel is they do use steel inserts in the lug nut wells, and that's where you tighten down your lug nuts. What those steel inserts do is they'll keep the wheel securely in place on the trailer hub, and they'll prevent those holes from elongating or wearing down. Eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. If you notice, the center cap is not included. If you want to have a center cap, we do sell those separately. When you get a center cap, you do wanna make sure it has the same diameter as the pilot hole. This pilot hole diameter is 3.19 inches. Now this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and at SAE J2530 standards. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Americana 15 inch by five inch AM03 Series Gunmetal Gray Machine Aluminum Trailer Wheel.
