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.


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.


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"

Still goin strong!

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:

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.

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.

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.

  • Recommended 16 Trailer Tire with 8 Lug Bolt Pattern for 14 Ply Tires
    I 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...

  • Difference Between Taskmaster Silver 16 inch Trailer Wheels # 660865MSPVD and # TA55VR
    The difference between the two silver Taskmaster trailer wheels part # 660865MSPVD and # TA55VR is weight capacity and finish basically. The part # TA55VR is a painted silver color and has a higher weight capacity of 4,400 lbs per wheel whereas the # MX59FR has an acrylic enamel finish that resists damage better than powder coat finishes and a capacity of 4,460 lbs. Aside from that they are the same.

  • Recommended 16 Inch Trailer Wheel With 8 Lug Bolt Pattern
    If 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.

  • Trailer Wheel Compatibility with 5/8 Inch Bolts on Dexter 10,000 lb Axle
    When 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.

  • Replacement 16 x 6 Inch Wheel for a Big Tex 14GN Trailer
    For 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...

  • Recommendation For 16 Inch Wheels That Are 8 Lug
    Based 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.

  • Can 16 Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Handle 110 psi Pressure Rating for 14 Ply Tire
    Yes, 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.

  • Is There Black Version of Taskmaster Steel Modular 16 inch Wheel TA55VR
    We 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.

  • Recommended 235/85R16 Tires on 5th Wheel Trailer with Weight Capacity Rated Above Tire/Axle Capacity
    Your Pilgrim International Open Road 357RLDS definitely has tires needing replaced. It is not uncommon to use LT tires on trailers, but it sounds like they have some dry rot going on. The stamp on the wheel rim unfortunately is not anything I'm familiar with so I can't help with that, but I can tell you that most trailers use a zero offset meaning that the mounting surface of the wheel to the hub is in the direct middle of the tire. The triangular or circular cutouts in the wheel are...

  • Offset of the Taskmaster 8 Spoke Trailer Wheel part # TA55VR

  • Can Taskmaster Steel 16x6 Inch Modular Trailer Wheel, 8 on 6-1/2, be Used with 110 psi Tires
    Taskmaster 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.

  • 16 inch Trailer Wheel Recommendation with 8 Lug Bolt Pattern
    It 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.

  • 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...

  • Valve Stem for Taskmaster 13 Inch Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel # T166WM8
    Taskmaster 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.

  • Will Taskmaster Wheel Fit 95 Inch Axle
    On any of the wheels we offer, there is zero offset if nothing is noted. This means it has the same distance from the front and back lip of the rim to the center that meets the hub. If you are staying with the same size wheel on your trailer, you should have no issues with back spacing by using part # TA55VR. You will want to make sure you match the wheel bolt pattern of a wheel with the hub bolt pattern on your trailer. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to measure the...

  • 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...

  • Highest Rated 16 x 6 Steel Trailer Wheel in Silver Mod
    I 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.

However, if you will be using load range G tires, you could upgrade to metal valve stem # AM20906 to be safe. The Load Range G wheels compatible are the Provider ST235/85R16 Radial # TTWPRG235R16 and Provider ST235/80R16 Radial # PRG80235. Both are rated for speeds up to 81 mph and have a 2 year warranty.

  • 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.
