Comparing Design of Galvanized 8 Inch Trailer Wheel vs White Powder Coated Steel Wheel for Capacity
Question:
Same size rim in white powder coat paint has a 910 pound rating vs the video for this galvanized one stating a 900 pound rating. I am also pretty sure the inside hub opening is bigger on this wheel as compared to the white powder coated version. My questions: are both wheels the same steel with just different coatings? does the slight difference in weight rating come from the larger hub opening on this Galvanized one?

The Steel Trailer Wheel - 8" x 3-3/4" Rim - 4 on 4 - Galvanized Finish # AM20003 has a center pilot hole that is 2.5 inches diameter. The Steel Trailer Wheel - 8" x 3-3/4" Rim - 4 on 4 - White # AM20001 has a pilot hole that is 2.5 inches diameter as well. We will update our page and the capacity of the two are both already 910 lbs each. The only differences are one is galvanized steel and the other is regular steel with white powder coat.
