Video Transcript for Review of Americana Trailer Tires and Wheels - Aluminum Wheel Only - AM88NR

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we can take a look at this Americana 15 inch by five AMO3 Series Black Machine Aluminum Trailer Wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is an aluminum wheel. It's very durable, lightweight and rustproof. As we mentioned, it's the a AMO3 Series Wheel, which is an open five spoke design in a nice black finish.

And if you notice, it has the machine silver face on the spokes to provide a nice bold sleek look. The black finish on the wheels is a glossy finish, and they use a clear coating on both the front, and the back of the wheel to protect the finish. Few dimensions on the wheel, the diameter on this wheel is 15 inches, and that's always measured inside to inside. So if we take our tape measure, and if we go across inside-inside, there's your 15 inch diameter. And then the width on this is also gonna be measured inside-inside or bead seat to bead seat, and you're looking at five inches wide.

Now the bolt pattern on this wheel, as you can see, it's a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel, it's an odd number of lugs. In this case, it's five. As you notice, the lug holes do not go across from each other, so it's a little bit harder to measure. But the easiest way to do it is just pick any one of the holes, let's say this one, and then you're gonna measure across to either one of these holes.

But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of the hole that you measure to. So on this, if we measure center, the furthest edge is gonna measure four and a half inches. So this is a five on four, and a half inch bolt pattern. It does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity on this wheel is 2,200 pounds. Now one of the nice features I like on this, if you look inside the lug nut wells here you'll see the steel inserts that they put in there, and that's designed to help keep the wheel securely in place on the trailer hub.

When you put your lug nuts in there, and tighten them down, prevents the holes from elongating or wearing down, and it also eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. If you notice the center cap is not included. If you do want one, we do sell those separately on a website. When you purchase one to fit, you wanna make sure it has the diameter at of this pilot hole. because when you install your cap it'll go in through this hole. The diameter on this pilot hole is 3.19 inches. Now this wheel does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and the SAEJ 25 30 standards. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Americana 15 inch by five inch AM03 Series Black Machine Aluminum Trailer Wheel.
