Question

Question:

I have determined that I need the rim Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel w/ +5 mm Offset - 14inch x 5-1/2inch Rim - 4 on 9.44 But I would also like to get extra bolts for this as well. Do you sell these and if not what should I ask for when trying to purchase these?

I show that the wheel lug size for Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel # AM20312, which you reference is 1/2 inch x 20, therefore you will want Americana Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # AM90049. These trailer wheel lug nuts fit 1/2" diameter wheel bolts and are chrome plated for durability and corrosion resistance.

I have included a video review of Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel # AM20312 for you to check out.
