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.
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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Vesper 16 inch by six inch white modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this is a heavy duty steel wheel. This one has the modular design with a nice bright white finish. And the modular design is the one that has the round holes that go all the way around the wheel. The finish is a white acrylic enamel finish.
This will help resist chipping and other damage better than the standard powder coat finishes. And the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment and then it covers an e-coat primer layer. This will give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than a thousand hours. This wheel also has the beveled stud holds, which will help keep your wheel securely in place on your trailer hub. It eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts.
Also, if you notice right over here, the valve stem is included, it's preinstalled in the wheel. Now this wheel does not come with a center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll fit this pilot hole diameter, which is 5.12 inches. So you wanna make sure that center cap you choose has a diameter 5.12 inches.
Now this wheel does meet the SAE J1204 standards. Few dimensions on this, we're gonna measure the diameter and also the width. Now, when you measure the diameter on a wheel, it's always measured inside to inside. You don't wanna measure end to end, it's inside to inside. So if we take our tape measure and we go inside to inside, there's your 16 inch diameter and the width will be the same way, it's bead seat to bead seat.
In other words, when the tire sits on here, the bead seats is where the tire will sit. So you're gonna measure inside to inside, right at six inches wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is gonna be an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, eight lugs, it's pretty easy because you can see the lug holes go right across from each other. So it makes it easy to measure. You just pick any hole and measure from the center of that hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this one, it'll measure six and a half inches. So it makes it an eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20 or nine sixteenths by 18. And the weight capacity on this wheel is 3,750 pounds. But that should do it for the review on the Vesper 16 inch by six inch white modular steel trailer wheel with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern..

Exactly how described
Overall good looking wheel. Price was good for what I was looking for. Box was dinged up a bit although I expected that to happen, something that heavy is bound to beat up the box. Paint was very nice. Having the tire installed today and we will see how nice it looks when I pick it up.
They've worked great fit perfectly put them on a stock trailer
I wanted black wheels instead of the white ones that came on the trailer. I liked the extra rust prevention provided in the description. I have just received them so they are not installed yet but the finish and style look amazing, the online pictures don't do them justice.
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
Love the rims and tire. I have 4 more that I use on my food truck and they are great.
Wheel size was right and shipping was great. I put a spare on it for my RV.
I'm rating this trailer wheel as Excellent for a few reasons. First, the cost of the wheel is low for the quality of the product. Second, the wheel has kept its color and shine for over a year of substantial use. Third, the durability is awesome! We travel too many areas with tough terrain and the wheels need to be strong enough to handle the hits that come with the areas we access. These wheels do just that and do it well.
The only lights that will fit on our trailer. Glad you have them in stock!
Great quality wheel. Also the taskmaster inner packaging and the ETrailer outer packaging was superb. Thank you for packaging it so well for transit.
This has been an unfortunate on-line learning experience for me. I thought I had finally found a set of rims that fit my 1972 Ford F250. I entered my vehicle and read the line that stated...
Heavy-duty steel wheel with modular design is sturdy and corrosion resistant
Designed for use on trucks, buses, and trailers
Even though "use on trucks" is stated, these wheels are only approved for trailers. When I sought to return the wheels, I was surprised to learn that I would be out $[XX] for shipping on a $[XX] purchase. So even though etrailer is willing to refund the cost of the wheels, I will be out a couple of hundred dollars, with nothing to show.
Buyer beware! No more on-line orders for me. The risk is the worth the cost. That is what I have learned from this transaction.
very disappointed to find the inside 4.25 center hole was misshapen when the stud holes were punched .it scratched my brand new flat black caps .will have to grind at each hole to round them and repaint everything. not very good for premium steel wheels. this is the second set of 5 I have bought . the first set was fine because the caps were loose.
Matches my other rims, looks great!
Looks like great quality, and arrived very well packaged and just what I was needing.
The Vesper wheel rims are very good rims. The paint is good as well
Wheels are fine but ups wasn’t gentle with the boxes.
No issues at all. I use my trailer at least 2x monthly for hauling Off-road jeeps to and from the trails 20K+ lbs.
Exactly what I needed for a spare wheel. Etrailier was helpful in making sure I ordered the correct produce. I’m having tire installed today. SHIPPING WAS FAST ordered on Friday and received Tue. ( a day earlier than original date - thanks UPS.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING ETRAILIER
The wheel in itself is a great wheel for the price. however unbeknownst to me once these arrived i took them straight to the tire shop (in the box) with the new G rated 14ply trailer tires to have them mounted. tire shop advised that once they opened the boxes, several wheels were bent around the rim. although it looked ugly luckily, the tires mounted okay. i had to buy some chrome rings to cover the ugly bends and dents (so more money) and contacted etrailer only to be told "oh sorry to hear about that. what i should have done was sent them back but they were already mounted and i would be charged again for that. didnt get any credit or discount offer from etrailer, they just seemed to not care. i've always purchased my trailer parts from etrailer because they've always been good to me, but i guess good thing must come to an end.
All 4 wheels arrived on time and undamaged. I just had the new tires mounted and the combo looks great. I'm excited to get them on our camper to see how the whole package looks. When the mechanic mounted the tires he balanced everything right away and said that one wheel was off by quite a bit. So, depending on what you are putting these on, consider getting them balanced right away.
Great deal for a 6 on 5.5 rim.
Perfect color match to original rims
Delivered two days early thanks to George J for upgrading my shipping free of charge
Thank you etrailer
Wheels are well made. Great price also. Shipping is fast. Im satisfied
