Replacement Trailer Wheel for a 1966 Airstream
Question:
Im looking at the black Dextar steel 6x5.5inch as a replacement wheel for my 66 Airstream. Currently it has the factory wheels with the baby moon hub caps. I just ordered new axles narrowed an inch to allow 225 tires. I see the Dextar has the baby moon centers available, do you also have trim rings and will these wheels work on the 66 Airstream. Thank you.

As long as your new tires use a 15" diameter wheel then you won't have any issues using the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20514. You're also going to want to make sure the new axle you have has the same 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern that the Dexstar # AM20514 has.
For the trim rings, I'm not entirely sure what you're referring too but we do have the baby moon hubcaps # AM90086 you mention and they will work with the Dexstar Wheel # AM20514.
