The weight will be distributed between all of the wheels you have. So for a wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20242 you can assume 3,320 lbs for two wheels and 6,640 lbs for four wheels. Keep in mind, these are designed for trailer use and have an offset of 0.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.
