Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Black powder coated, 16" steel wheel features a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and meets Department of Transportation standards.I bought five wheels, all the same size. Four were the wheels I ordered, the fifth was a different size. Customer service seems to have no interest in rectifying the problem, and I am too bust running a business to run them down on the phone. I'll pick a different trailer company to do business with.
The wheels themselves are very nice and well made. I appreciate that they are manufactured in the USA. I did not rate them higher due to a couple of issues, neither one having to do with the wheels' design or construction.
First of all, the description on the website does not state that these wheels use the larger valve stem size, .625" instead of .453". As a result, I had a last minute scramble before a camping trip to get the correct diameter TPMS senders. The descriptions for all the wheels sold by etrailer should state the valve stem hole diameter.
Second, as pointed out in many reviews, the wheels were improperly packed, and/or mishandled at the warehouse. All of them had small dings on the edges of the rims, where the paint had been chipped off. I am surprised that this is still happening after all the reviews that mention the issue. In my case etrailer provided a partial refund, that I appreciated. Had I not been under a tight schedule to get my trailer ready for a long trip, I would have asked for a replacement set of wheels instead.
Poorly executed product and delivery. Wheels are only powder coated on the face so the back of the wheels are free to rust. Wheels are advertised as powder coated. They should specify face only. The pictures in the listing show powder coat all over. Next thing is the packing. Someone thought is was a good idea to stick 2 40lb pieces of metal in the same box with nothing to protect them from each other or from outside impacts. Wheels have chips in what little powder coat there is and have flat spots around the circumference of all wheels. Very disappointed. Wish I could return and take my money elsewhere but I've heard negative stories about etrailer customer service. I'm not sure it's worth my time.
Very high quality steel wheel (made in USA) made it affordably possible to replace the inferior quality, unsafe gravity cast Chinese wheels and crappy OEM tires on our Hyperlite XLR. Upon purchase of the XLR, we immediately bought a set of five so that we could run the Michelin RIB tire at 80psi. No "China Bomb" blow-outs, no problems. Everyone should do this for safety and piece of mind. These wheels should be industry standard!

One year later we are still enjoying the quality and piece of mind these wheels have delivered Along with the Michelin tires, we have yet to have any failures at all. 3500 mile trip to Fort Worth and back...no problems. The Dexstar wheels not only are performing perfectly, they still have a factory-fresh appearance due to in my opinion quality construction and quality finishing. They still look new! These wheels are the best and they allow us to use the best tires. Very pleased with the Dexstar wheel.
I’ve not tried it yet as it’s going to be used as a spare

It’s been over a year now and still good as new
The wheels powder coating is way better than I thought it would be!! They seem to be very well made as well. But I did receive one of the boxes damaged and one of the wheels has a ding in it now not sure what I should do now I’ve got a trip coming up shortly and I need these wheels on the trailer asap
I was very impressed with these new rims when I opened the box. It was immediately apparent that they are very solid, well built, well constructed rims. The finish is very good quality. They will work very well on my trailer. I would without question purchase them again from etrailer. I do have one issue; value stems. I was expecting these rims to have standard size valve stems: NOT. Had I known this I would have ordered them with the rims. It would have been nice for etrailer to have included a set. Not a dealbreaker. I will pick them up at a local parts store.
I ordered 4 rims and all of the arrived to finish damage. One even looks as though is was run down the road with a flat tire. They will hold air but I worry about rust issues now.

Sorry to hear about the cosmetic damage to your wheels. They will definitely need touched up with paint to avoid rust. Customer Service will reach out to you.
Rims are great, good price. My only complaint is the valve stem hole uses the older 5/8 diameter hole instead of the modern smaller hole.

Rims are still great after a year. Paint still looks good. I’ve had them off and back on a few times. Still holding up as you would expect them to.
Exactly what I needed at an fair price. Customer service from etrailer is awesome. they were able to ship faster at no charge and followed up with me 2 times and when item was received to ensure that were no issues with delivery. I will definaly purchase from company again in the future.
Upgrading the camper trailer from 15" to 16" wheels. Dexstar is the brand on the trailer now. It was easy to match. Easy to select and purchase. Very pleased with how the wheels were packaged and delivered. First rate.
quality of the powder coating could have been better. Lot of thin parts, mostly on the back side of the rim where it is not seen. I just touched it up with a gloss paint
Shipped so fast . Thanks you
I have not opened them up yet but I came home to boxes on my front door they day they said they would be ordered. Ill be ording from them again when I need something for a trailer I own.
I purchased five of these wheels for a 10k lb trailer that I am building to haul my rock crawler Jeep. The quality of these wheels is fantastic! I was not expecting the material of the the metal to be as thick and heavy duty as it is. Although I paid a few dollars more for the black than if I would have purchased the silver wheels, I wanted the black wheels instead of the silver because I am painting my trailer grey/silver and thought that the black would look good against the trailer color. The powder coat finish is really nice as well. I had some Goodyear Marathon tires mounted on them today and the manager at Goodyear even commented on the construction and sturdiness of the wheels.
A huge bonus is that they are made in the USA!
These fit my 67 Airstream with torsion axles, upgrading from 15 to 16 inch wheels. Powder coating is very good. Tires have basically been sitting while camper is being overhauled; have not lost air pressure. Apparently very good quality wheels. Checked for runout by spinning and watching, not super precision test, but saw no runout spinning by hand.
Fast shipping!!! They will look great on my trailer.
I was looking for inexpensive 16" nice looking wheels to replace my 15s on my enclosed car hauler so I could upgrade the tires. They shipped quick, were true round and held balance weights with no problems. After a year, the finish still looks nice. I am not disappointed.
Just got wheels mounted, look great on our trailer, put 14 ply tires on the wheels don't want any blowouts. Valve stems were easily installed also.
Dexstar Steel rims are good quality. I order three for a trailer to have a spare. Dont know what happen but one didnt make it during shipping, the box had a big tear. Contacted etrailer and they quickly provided email to document issue and sent replacement the same day.
This time I am happy to say the wheel WAS made in U.S.A. I have already mounted a LT225/75x16 tire and am using it for a spare for my car trailer. No more junk ST trailer tires for me. Thanks for the quick shipping.
Product was good Disappointing that you don’t have a business to business discount. We like buying from you but it makes it hard when our customers can buy at the same level that you’re selling to us at
I ordered wheels and valve stems. The items were perfect for my application and etrailer.com had the best price and included free shipping!
I ordered two 16" x 6 6 lug rims for my 5th wheel camper. The web site was every easy to use and I got my rims within a couple of days.
Great job
Like the wheels and they came with valve stems installed, nice!

I am honestly not sure what happened with the finish of the rims. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you to have them replaced.
