I need to buy a wheel for a 5 spoke hub. I have not been able to find a used or new one anywhere. Is this something etrailer offers?

A 5 spoke utility hub like the # 8-174-5UC3 is something typically found on a mobile home axle. In order to get replacement wheels you are going to need a new hub and drum assembly.
In order to find one that fits, you will need to check the part numbers on your current bearings or take some measurements. If you can't find the part numbers on the bearings you will either need to measure the inner diameter of the bearings or measure the spindle where the bearings ride. I recommend using a digital caliper like the # PTW80157 in order to get an accurate measurement. See the diagram below which shows where to measure.
Once you know which bearings you have you will be able to select a hub and drum assembly that matches the bearings and your axle capacity with the wheel bolt pattern you want. If you need help finding a hub and drum that will fit I would be happy to help you find one if you let me know which bearings you currently have and the capacity of your current axle.
