Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish
This wheel has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.
Beveled Stud Holes
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
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.
- If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
- If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
- If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
- If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

After having a few trailer tire blowouts over the past few years, I decided to carry an extra spare for my gooseneck horse trailer. This wheel looks like a good match. I haven't mounted a tire yet, but so far I am happy with the service and products from etrailer.com.

Exactly what I needed. Came with the proper valve stem for high pressure inflation. Very fast shipping.

Review from a similar Steel Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I ordered the exact same wheel that I ordered a few months ago "Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 5 - Silver" The new wheels came in a different color. When I called, they told me that they cannot help it that the company discontinued the old Silver color and that this is the new Silver color. I believe that they should have changed the description to something different instead of trying to make it like it is the exact same wheel.
Comments
I apologize for the inconvenience. Item # F2519155021 is no longer available. It is a bit different in color and the weight rating is different also.

Really enjoy your website very well done !
In Lincoln Nebraska we have a Camping World and Leach RV a family owned & Operated company in fact I worked for them for 18 years. Instead of paying their inflated prices I choose to shop with etrailer. Just hope that the wheel that I ordered makes it here soon as we have a out of town race coming up and I need a spare. If you wish to have your company name on the sides of two different race cars just let me know. We race in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Colorado.

Review from a similar Steel Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I greatly appreciated the on time and fast deliver. The one rim was perfect no issues, but the other rim is bent with scratches on it. The box it was delivered in was really beat up and opening the box I expected to see a bent rim and it was.

Thank you for letting us know. We are happy to help and will have our customer service team reach out to you.

Review from a similar Steel Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The service and shipping speed from etrailer was great. The wheel construction looks good. I was a little disappointed with the finish. The backside of the wheel was not painted very well with areas not being covered. The front was ok but there was already minor chipping on the edge. I touched everything up myself because I could but the manufacturer could put more paint on the product.

Terrific Service. Heavier Duty Wheels I Needed, In Stock, Received within 4 days. Unbelievable. Very, VERY Satisfied. Thank you ETrailer
Comments
Perfectly. The heavier wheels along with heavier duty radial trailer tires improved the trailer capacity and towability noticeably. Very wellworth the investment. Iwas able to use the former wheels & tires for an ATV trailer. Overall a great reason to continue to be an etrailer customer.

Review from a similar Steel Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Bought four of these about two and a half years ago. One started leaking around a weld seam, but now out of warranty. Had to get another one that matched the others, otherwise would have gone with another brand. Hoping none of the others nor this new one have the same issue.

Replaced a rim after a slight mishap with a loading ramp that launched off a utility trailer ahead of me on the interstate. The rim is an exact match with a great finish. Pricing is very competitive and shipping is fast. Etrailer is my go-to every time.

See what our Experts say about this Taskmaster Trailer Tires and Wheels
- PSI Rating and Offset for the Taskmaster Rim part # TA73VRThe PSI rating for the Taskmaster Rim part # TA73VR that you referenced is 145 psi. I confirmed this with my contact at Taskmaster. It also has a zero offset. I attached a review video for this rim for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Does the Center Hole Matter on a Trailer Wheel and can 16 Inch Wheels be Replaced with 15 InchFirst, the center (pilot) hole on Taskmaster wheel # TA73VR is 4-1/4 inches. This will only matter if A) the wheels secure to the hubs with wheel bolts rather than lug nuts or B) if the pilot hole is too small. It can be larger just not smaller if it attaches with lug nuts. You can go to a smaller tire and wheel size provided the combined capacity of all of the tires is high enough for the gross trailer weight. I have included some helpful links on tires and wheels for you.
view full answer... - Can Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16 x 6 Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver Take 110 psi TiresYes, you can run 110 psi tires on the Taskmaster steel modular trailer wheel # TA73VR. Make sure that the tires you use are also rated for 110 psi. I have linked a video review of this wheel for you.

view full answer... - 16 inch Trailer Wheel Recommendation with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern and 6 inch WidthThe Taskmaster Steel Wheel part # TA73VR is a 16 inch wheel that is 6 inches wide with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern that you said you need so it would work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will 16 by 6 Inch Taskmaster Trailer Wheel fit on 7.50-16 Sized Trailer TireA 7.50-16 sized tire will fit a wheel that is 16 inches in diameter by 6 inches wide. So the Taskmaster # TA73VR will work just fine with it.
view full answer... - Will Tire Size 235/85R16 Fit on Trailer Rim part # TA73VRThe trailer tire size 235/85R16 will fit on the trailer wheel part # TA73VR as it is a 6 inch wide rim.
view full answer... - Backspacing for Taskmaster Steel Mod Trailer Wheel 16 x 6 Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - SilverSince Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver Item # TA73VR has a zero offset the backspacing is half the overall width of the wheel. The overall width of the wheel is approximately 7 inches making the backspacing approximately 3-1/2 inches. If you need a certain amount of space let me know and I can see if we have a match.
view full answer... - Is Wheel Balanced Before Shipping Or Only Wheel Tire Combinations?When we sell a combined tire and wheel, we balance them in regards to trailer tire balance, which is not the same as automotive tire balancing. Trailer tires and wheels are made different and operate differently. Without the tire installed, we can't balance the wheel, but we can make sure it is round. So to answer part of your question, the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver # TA73VR are not balanced but do not need to be. A Standard Trailer...
view full answer... - Max PSI Rating for Tasmaster Wheel Part # TA73VRThe PSI rating for the Taskmaster Rim part # TA73VR that you referenced is 145 psi. I confirmed this with my contact at Taskmaster.
view full answer... - Availability of 16 inch Trailer with 6 Lug Bolt PatternThe bolt pattern you are looking for is 6 on 5-1/2 inch. For a rim with that bolt pattern on a 16 inch rim we have the # TA73VR which is a steel modular wheel powder coated silver. I attached a review video for more info as well.

I confirmed this with my contact at Taskmaster. It also has a zero offset. I attached a review video for this rim for you to check out as well. For a chrome center cap to go along with this you would want the part # 425EZ. I went out and grabbed both products and took a couple picture of them together for you to check out as well.

- Spare 15 and 16 inch Rim Recommendation for a TrailerYour first wheel has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and your second one has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. For the 15 inch wheel the part # AM20440 would be a match to what you have and has a great price. For the 16 inch wheel we have the # TA73VR which would fit and has a great price as well. I've linked a page to help with all the available options.
view full answer... - Chrome Lug Nut Recommendation to Go with the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel that are 1/2-20For a chrome lug nut for 1/2 inch by 20 stud that would go with the part # TA73VR you would want the part # 12CLN which is sold individually. This is a chrome lug nut that matches the size and finish you mentioned so it would work well for you.
view full answer... - Max PSI Of Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer WheelThe Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver # TA73VR does not have a specified max psi. The max psi is based on the valve stem, so it is most likely an 85 psi stem that comes with the wheel. If you need a higher psi to run your tires at the max psi as they should be, I recommend using the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long - Over 100 psi # AM20906.
view full answer... - Difference Between Conventional and Modular Trailer WheelsA example of a conventional steel trailer wheel is Dexstar # AM20766. Modular wheels are simply trailer wheels that feature cosmetically-appealing holes rather than spokes or a solid inner surface. A good example of a modular trailer wheel would be the Taskmaster Steel # TA73VR.
view full answer... - What PSI is the Valve Stem Rated for?The valve stem in the Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # TA73VR is 100 PSI. If you should need one rated for over 100 PSI the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem part # AM20906 is a great choice.
view full answer... - Backspacing and Offset of 16 Inch Diameter Wheels with 6 on 5-1/2 Inch Bolt PatternNo, we offer 16" diameter wheels with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern in different offsets/backspacings. If the wheel has an offset then it will be listed in the title or on the product page. I have attached a list of these options for you. If you need a wheel with a negative offset then I recommend part # AM22657 which has an -8mm offset which means the backspacing will be around 3.3". If you need a wheel with a 0 offset then I recommend part # TA73VR which has a 3.5" backspacing. In order...
view full answer... - What is Standard 6 Bolt Wheel Pattern for 16 inch Trailer Wheel6 on 6 inch is not a standard trailer bolt pattern so we won't be able to get that for you. The closest would be a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern 16 inch wheel like the part # TA73VR. If this is a trailer application most likely this is the bolt pattern you need. I attached a help article on determining bolt patterns for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will Taskmaster Trailer Wheel # TA73VR Accept a Load Range G 235/85R16The new tires you mentioned will fit and work well on your Summit wheels from a fit and PSI perspective but the tire will have more weight capacity than your wheel. Most likely you will need a higher rated valve stem as well as you most likely have a lower rated one and would need a higher rated one. For that you'd want the # AM20906 as well and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Recommended 16x6 Rim With A 6 On 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern For Use As A SpareIf you are looking for a good quality 16x6 rim with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern, check out the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20746. This American made wheel is a 16x6 rim and includes the 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. It is also rated up to 3,050 pounds of capacity and the silver powder coat finish over the e-coat primer will do well with corrosion resistance. The price point really can't be beat either. This will be a fantastic spare.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Rims For A 1988 International TrailerThe 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern will be very typical of a 16" rim, but the 3-1/2" pilot hole is odd. Usually, a wheel of this size will have a 4.25" or 4.27" pilot hole. so you may be right about the previous owner changing the wheels out. With that said, as trailer wheels are lug centric, the pilot hole is less critical than the pilot hole on a hub centric vehicle wheel. As to this being the correct size for your 1988 International trailer, as long as you have at least 3" from the top of...
