Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish

Maxion Wheels Vesper 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.


Improved Torque Retention Technology

Beveled Stud Holes Front and Back

The automotive-rated center disc is raised and the stud holes are beveled and uncoated for better clamp force retention. This technology helps the wheel stay tight against your hub without the need for constant retightening.


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.


Bolt Pattern - Odd

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.)


Bolt Pattern - Even

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.)


Bolt Pattern - 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"

I had initially purchased scratched rims to save a few dollars. When they went to ship them, they couldn't be located. etailer then honored their original price for damaged rims and applied it to new ones to complete my order. This alone will bring me back for years to come as I maintain a large fleet. Thank you!



by:

Exactly what I needed, and it came earlier than expected.

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.



by:

They've worked great fit perfectly put them on a stock trailer



by:

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.



by:

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



by:

Love the rims and tire. I have 4 more that I use on my food truck and they are great.



by:

Wheel size was right and shipping was great. I put a spare on it for my RV.



by:

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.



by:

The only lights that will fit on our trailer. Glad you have them in stock!



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Matches my other rims, looks great!



by:

Looks like great quality, and arrived very well packaged and just what I was needing.



by:

The Vesper wheel rims are very good rims. The paint is good as well



by:

Wheels are fine but ups wasn’t gentle with the boxes.



by:

No issues at all. I use my trailer at least 2x monthly for hauling Off-road jeeps to and from the trails 20K+ lbs.



by:

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



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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

  • Modular 16 x 6 Trailer Wheel with 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern
    We have an option for you for a white spoke trailer wheel that are 16 x 6 with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern; the Dexstar # AM20741. The # AM20741 is rated up to 3,050 pounds. This Dexstar rim needs a valve stem. Use part # AM20907.

  • Measuring Bolt Pattern for Wheels on Military Trailer
    We do have a large selection of trailer wheels that feature a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, but not a 6 on 5 inch pattern like what you mentioned in your question. I recommend verifying this measurement on your existing trailer wheels. Since you have an even number of lugs, you will just want to measure center-to-center on lugs directly across from each other. I have attached a link that will take you to our available wheels that have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. You can use the facets...

  • Can Trailer with Downward Bow in Axle be Towed with Little Cargo Weight
    You shouldn't have a problem with towing a trailer with less than 300 lbs of cargo weight unless the trailer isn't rated to tow very much and your cargo is overloading it. The thing that concerns me is when you say that the bow of the axle is downward. It should be bowing up so that when weight is added to your trailer the axle straightens out (see attached picture). You may be able to get home with the axle like that and very little cargo weight but I would look into changing it out before...

  • Is It Normal for Trailer Wheels to Bow Out At the Bottom
    What you describe isn't normal. Trailer axles are manufactured with a bow or crown in them, a slight arc with the high side on the top of the axle. When the trailer is loaded, the axle will straighten out so the tires make even contact with the pavement. If the trailer is overloaded, the axle and spindles will bow the wrong way, causing the inside edge of the tire to have most of the contact with the pavement. It sounds like your trailer has been overloaded at some point which might have...

  • What is Max Tire Pressure for Taskmaster Modular Trailer Wheel # TA97VR
    The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA97VR that you referenced has a valve stem that is rated for 80-110 psi.. If you needed a higher capacity you would just need to swap out the valve stem for one rated for 110 psi like the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long Item # AM20906.

  • What Causes Trailer Tires to Fail/Tire Recommendation for Size ST225/75R15
    Tire failure is usually caused by a few things. It can be from overloading the trailer, improper tire inflation, and/or exceeding the speed rating for the tire. You should verify that the tire capacity you have for you trailer is adequate for how much your trailer weighs. The pressure ran in the tires makes a big difference in longevity too. ST tires should be ran with the full pressure rating stated on the side of the tire, for full load capacity and longevity of the tire. If lower pressures...

  • Recommended Wheel Compatibility with 110 PSI Tire
    The trailer wheels like the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - White # TA97VR are not independently rated for PSI. This wheel will work with a tire that requires that PSI if you change the valve stem out for one rated that high. I recommend the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long - Over 100 psi # AM20906 for that application.

  • What Is The PSI Rating Of The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel
    The determining factor of how much PSI the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA97VR will be the style of the valve stem. The Taskmaster Steel Wheel appears to have reinforcement between the rubber and the threads like # AM20904. That style of valve stem is rated for 80 to 100 PSI. If you need to run your tires at a higher PSI, you will need to use metal valve stems like # AM20906, which is rated for over 100 PSI.

  • Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Compatibility With 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser
    The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - White # TA97VR have a zero off-set, so the point that the wheel mounts to the hub is exactly 1/2 way between the edges of the wheel's bead seats. These tires will mount with 3 inches behind the face of the hub accounting for 3 inches of backspacing without the tire dimension. Trailer wheels can be used as long as you are within the weight ratings of the wheel on your 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser. I do recommend using...

  • Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System For 33 Off Road Tires
    I do have an option for you but the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange part # ASR2000S02 are not made for that large of a tire. A 33" tire has a section width of 10.04" with a 33" diameter so there will not be enough clearance to use this Timbren system. I recommend to use the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR35HDS02 which is designed for off road tires. It has a 4" lift spindle for clearance. The spindle accepts bearings part...

  • Will a 16" Wheel Fit A Jayco 5th Wheel RSTS Trailer
    In order to determine if you have space for a larger wheel/tire you need to measure the distance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender and then from the inside of the tire to the outside of the frame. We recommend at least 3" on top and 1" inside so if the new larger size allows for this then you'll be good to go. The Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10248 for example measures 30.9" diameter x 9.4". This would then pair great with the Taskmaster Steel Modular...

  • Trailer Wheels with 16 x 6 Rim and 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern with 3,500 Pound Capacity
    We only have one option for 16 inch wheels with 3,500+ load capacity with the 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. It is the Aluminum HWT Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6-1/2" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Black # AM22658HWTB which is rated for up to 3,580 lbs. For steel wheels we have the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel # TA73VR in silver and the Taskmaster Steel Modular wheel # TA97VR in white. Each of these wheels are rated at 3,500 lbs each.

  • Valve Stem Ratting of the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Part TA97VR
    The valve stem that comes with the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # TA97VR is rated for 80 psi so you can mount the Castle Rock ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # LHCK401 to this and run it at full capacity without a different valve stem.

  • What Is the PSI Rating of the 16 Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel
    The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel part # 274-000038 does not have a psi rating as is the case for any wheel. The psi rating comes from the valve stem which for this setup would be 100 psi plus. If you are looking to upgrade the psi you can use the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906 exceeding psi is not really what would cause the wheel to crack. This would likely be from overloading or manufacturing defects. If you want to switch to a more durable steel wheel, I recommend...
