Heavy-Duty Kenda® 13x4.5 Zero-Offset Steel Modular (MOD) Replacement Trailer Wheel in Gloss Black!
Upgrade or replace old, rusted rims with the dependable 13" Steel Modular (MOD) replacement trailer wheel from Kenda® / Americana Tire and Wheel. Designed to deliver commercial-grade durability and clean styling, this 13x4.5 wheel is roll-formed from heavy-gauge steel and finished in an e-coated gloss black coating engineered to withstand road grit, salt spray, and harsh weather conditions.
Featuring a true 0-offset (zero-offset) geometry, a popular 5-on-4.5" (5x4.5) bolt circle, and a standard 3.19" center pilot hole, this wheel serves as a direct bolt-on replacement for boat trailers, utility flatbeds, cargo haulers, and camping rigs. Rated for an impressive 1,725 lb load capacity per wheel (3,450 lbs on a single axle or 6,900 lbs across tandem axles), it delivers the structural integrity and towing stability required for demanding road trips.
PLEASE NOTE: Wheel only, tire NOT included! Double-check your trailer hub's bolt pattern (5 on 4.5"), center pilot bore (3.19"), and 13-inch rim diameter before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Steel vs. Aluminum Trailer Wheels: Comparison Guide
-
Steel Wheels (Strength, Value & Heavy Payloads): Steel wheels offer significant cost savings and superior structural impact toughness. While heavier than aluminum wheels and requiring protective coatings to prevent rust, steel bends rather than shears under severe shock loads, making it an ultra-dependable choice for commercial and heavy utility use.
-
Aluminum Wheels (Weight & Corrosion Resistance): Aluminum alloy wheels are naturally rust-proof and reduce unsprung rotating mass for easier towing efficiency. However, alloy wheels carry a higher initial investment and are more susceptible to hairline cracking under extreme overloading or severe curb strikes.
