Trailer Wheels (rims)

[RVhiker]

My trailer came equipped with 15x6JJ Dexstar wheels part # 017-144. They are marked with a label stating a 2830 lbs rating and the Dexstar on-line product catalog confirms the weight rating, and further states 80PSI. I have load range E Maxxis trailer tires mounted to the wheels, and maintain a pressure of 80 PSI. I recently developed a crack in a rim, and an air leak. My local tire dealer could not find any trailer wheel in my size with a rating of 2830 lbs and 80 PSI. I ordered a Dexstar wheel from an on-line dealer and all will be good.

But is Dexstar the only manufacturer that makes such a wheel?

I recently had contact with the support people at Sendel Wheels which make the 6 bolt T03 wheels on my 5th wheel. She said the 6 bolt wheels have the same max PSI rating of 110 lbs as the 8 bolt as it is the same casting. Only difference is the 8 bolt has a higher weight rating.

Lie to me, lie to you.

etrailer has either an article or a FAQ stating that if the wheel is six lug, it is good for 80psi, regardless of what the weight rating of the wheel is.

no, the alloy rims on my Outback are 15" rated at 2830lbs in the 6 lug configuration. Don't recall the mfg, but I checked once and they showed about 6 different alloy wheel styles with the 2830lb rating.

However if yours are 5 lug, different story. I've only seen alloy wheels in 15" with 6lugs rated to 2830. the 5 lugs I saw were all rated for a LR D tire.
