Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish
This wheel has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.
Beveled Stud Holes
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

Just got the new tire mounted on the rim! Now I'm looking for lug nuts and bolts for a heavy duty tilt trailer 8 hole lug. I'm also looking for a brushed aluminum 16" rim with the identical pattern as the one I just purchased. The steel rim will then become my spare.
Thank you

They've worked great fit perfectly put them on a stock trailer
by: Jack12/14/2021
Bought four of these about two and a half years ago. One started leaking around a weld seam, but now out of warranty. Had to get another one that matched the others, otherwise would have gone with another brand. Hoping none of the others nor this new one have the same issue.

Good replacement wheel and rapid shippi ng
by: Aaron 09/01/2022
Very good quality built wheel, good finish and workmanship. Fast delivery. Comes in a well protected easy to carry box. Highly recommend this wheel. Wish it came with an all metal valve stem, had to cut the rubber/metal valve stem off and install a quality all metal valve stem into it.
by: Ian 08/03/2021
The wheel spun up true on the balancer before mounting the tire, which has been a problem with other sellers wheels. Thank you etrailer for offering a quality product with satisfactory quality control.

See what our Experts say about this Taskmaster Trailer Tires and Wheels
- Can Taskmaster Steel 16x6 Inch Modular Trailer Wheel, 8 on 6-1/2, be Used with 110 psi TiresTaskmaster 16 x 6 inch trailer wheel # TA55VR can be used with tires rated for 110 psi such as ST235/85R16 tire # TTWPRG235R16, but you will need to upgrade to a metal valve stem. Once you install a valve stem like the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long # AM20906, you will be good to go. I have included links to video reviews of the tire and the wheel for you.
view full answer... - Trailer Wheel Compatibility with 5/8 Inch Bolts on Dexter 10,000 lb AxleWhen moving from the dual wheels on your Dexter 10K axle, you may want to consider the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 10,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Oil Bath # 8-214-5UC1 as a replacement. This does have the 5/8 bolts you mentioned. The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA55VR has lug bolt holes that are beveled so they will not be compatible. We don't have any 16-inch or 16-1/2 wheels that will work.

- Recommendation For 16 Inch Wheels That Are 8 LugBased on your information, I do not have exactly what you are looking for. The closest I can get is a Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel, Item # TA55VR, that is 16 inches x 6 inches that has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern with a 5.15 inches pilot diameter. I also am attaching a link to our available selections. I am attaching some FAQ articles that could be useful. Let me know if I can help with any other questions.
view full answer... - 16 inch Trailer Wheel Recommendation with 8 Lug Bolt PatternIt sounds like you have a bad batch of wheels if they are all leaking the same spot. 110 psi should not be a problem for a 16 inch wheel at all. Normally a valve stem fails long before the wheel would. That said the Taskmaster rim part # TA55VR is a 16 inch diameter wheel that is 6 inches wide and has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Replacement 16 x 6 Inch Wheel for a Big Tex 14GN TrailerFor your 2021 Big Tex 14GN trailer you are going to want the Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel item # TA65VR. This 16" x 6" rim is black and has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. This rim has a 3,860 lbs capacity which matches up perfectly with your Dexter 7,000 lbs axles. You don't need a 4,400 lbs capacity rim on a 7,000 lbs axles. You would be over paying for capacity you will never use. You will also need the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long item # AM20906. If you are...
view full answer... - Highest Rated 16 x 6 Steel Trailer Wheel in Silver ModI confirmed with my contact at Taskmaster that the Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver # TA55VR has a weight rating of 3,750 lbs each so if your planning on carrying a load closer to 4,080 lbs (per wheel), I would definitely recommend looking at a wheel with a higher capacity. We do offer a variety of aluminum wheels rated at or above 4,080 lbs, like # AX02665865HDBML rated at 4,450 lbs, but none feature the silver modular design you are looking for.
view full answer... - Looking for 16 Inch Silver Mod Trailer Wheel with 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt PatternWe sure do! We have many 16 inch trailer wheel options, see link. If you are looking for the wheel that is used in tire and wheel combo # TA86VR then it is Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver Item # TA55VR. If you are looking for a different style or bolt pattern I can make other recommendations.
view full answer... - Can An Upgrade from Load Range E Tires to Load Range G Tires Work Without Changing the Wheels?The answer is not a simple yes or no. The Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # PRG80235 has a load rating of 4,080 lbs at 110 psi. The similar load range E tires # TTWTRTM2358016E are load rated for 3,520 lbs at 80 psi. They are compatible with the same size wheels but they will have a different load capacity and will require a different valve stem for that increased psi. So if you were running the load range E tires on the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel...
view full answer... - Offset of the Taskmaster 8 Spoke Trailer Wheel part # TA55VRLike most trailer wheels the Taskmaster 8 Spoke Trailer Wheel part #TA55VR that you referenced has a zero offset. I attached a review video for this wheel for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Does Tire Pressure Matter to Wheels in the Same Manner as Tires?The tire pressure isn't a factor with wheels (but valve stems are pressure rated so your existing ones may need to be switched if they're not rated for your new tires); for this reason it's not going to be a concern as much as the load rating/weight capacity of the tires and wheels being consistent; this is simply from a standpoint of making sure that you're maximizing your carrying capacity, which is usually the purpose of upgrading. When towing, you're always rated by your lowest rated...
view full answer... - What Load Range Tires Can I Use on the Taskmaster Wheel # TA55VR?I went ahead and reached out to my contact at Taskmaster Tires. She confirmed that for the Steel Modular Wheel # TA55VR, load range E, F and G fits if the aspect ratio of the tire is 80 or smaller. For example, the tire size 235/80R16. If the aspect of the tire is 85 or bigger, load range E is the only tire that will fit. An example of that size tire is the Kenda Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2 - LR E # AM32743B. As far as the air pressure...
view full answer... - USA Made Mini Mod Wheel that is 16 inch Diameter 6 inch WidthThe wheel you referenced was made in China. See follow up response below for USA made option!
view full answer... - What Is The Narrowest 16 Trailer Wheel With 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern?You will need to go with a 16" wheel to get the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, as 15" trailer wheels are not offered with that bolt pattern. With that said the narrowest 16" wheel with the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern is 6" wide like the Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - White # TA55VR you were looking at.
view full answer... - Offset and Backspacing of Taskmaster Wheel part # TA55VRThe Taskmaster Wheel part TA55VR that you referenced has a zero offset like most trailer wheels do which allows the trailer weight to be evenly distributed to either side of the wheel. This is a 6 inch wide wheel so that means the backspacing is 3-1/2 inches.
view full answer... - Difference Between Dexstar and Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel 16 inch Diameter 6 inch WideEssentially the part numbers # T166BM8 and # AM20761B that you referenced are two different companies version of the same wheel. The more expensive one is the Dexstar that is made in the USA. Typically it costs more to make things here so that is why. One wheel has a pilot diameter of 4.90 inches and the other 5.12 inches so for a center cap you would want the part # AM90156C or # AM90083 to match the size.
view full answer... - 16x6 Inch Steel Trailer Wheel with 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern Made in the USAFor a 16 x 6 inch steel spoke trailer wheel with 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern that is made in the USA I recommend Dexstar wheel # AM20750. I have included a link to a video review of this wheel for you. The Taskmaster # TA55VR is not made in the USA.
view full answer... - Valve Stem for Taskmaster 13 Inch Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel # T166WM8Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel # TA55VR already comes with a valve stem installed in the wheel. If you want to replace it with a metal valve stem use # AM20906 which fits both 0.453 inch diameter holes and 0.625 inch diameter holes.
view full answer... - Weight Rating for the Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel TA55VRA J or K rating in regards to wheels and tires is a ply rating for the tires. J means 18 ply and K means 19 ply. Those two Load Ranges are pretty high up there in terms of weight capacity. The best I can say about the part # TA55VR is that it has a 3,750 lbs capacity.
view full answer... - Is There Black Version of Taskmaster Steel Modular 16 inch Wheel TA55VRWe have a black version of the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16 x 6 Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver Item # TA55VR with the part # TA65VR. This would fit a tire size of 235/80R16 like the # LHWL401 as well since it is 6 inch wide.
view full answer... - Recommended 16 Trailer Tire with 8 Lug Bolt Pattern for 14 Ply TiresI recommend picking up one of the following Taskmaster Mod wheels, which come in these colors: - Black # TA77RR - Silver # TA55VR - White # AM20785 Taskmaster wheels have definitely made an impact on the towing community and have quickly become a go-to option because of how reliable they are. These wheels have a weight rating of 4,460 lbs so they are more than capable of handling your 14 ply tires. If you prefer a different style, feel free to filter through our linked selection of...
view full answer... - Rim that Comes with the Taskmaster Wheel and Tire ATA86VRThe rim that comes with the wheel and tire combo part # ATA86VR that you referenced is the part # TA55VR.
view full answer... - Recommended 16 Inch Trailer Wheel With 8 Lug Bolt PatternIf the tire you have is a 7.50 x 16, like part # AM10430, the wheel you need is a 16 x 6. We carry several wheels that have an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern that will work with the 7.5 x 16 tire. I recommend a wheel like the Taskmaster Steel Wheel, part # TA55VR. This wheel has a capacity of 3,750 lbs and a 5.15 inch pilot. I have attached a link to our product pages for the tires we offer and also to the wheels we carry that will work for you.
view full answer... - Availability of 16 inch Trailer Wheel with 8 Lug Bolt Pattern in SilverI wish we had conventional trailer wheels in different colors but we only have them in black # AM20766 as you referenced. None of our manufacturers make that option so you would need to have them stripped and then custom powder coated. The closest option we have in silver powder coat is the part # TA55VR which is the same diameter and has the same bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Can 16 Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Handle 110 psi Pressure Rating for 14 Ply TireYes, as long as you swap out the rubber valve stem that comes with the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA55VR to the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906 it is compatible with a 14 ply tire like what you find with the Provider # TTWPRG235R16.
