Heavy-Duty Kenda® 8x3.75 Solid-Center 5-Lug Steel Replacement Trailer Wheels — Select Your Finish!
Replace corroded, rusted, or bent rims on your small utility rig, personal watercraft trailer, or compact boat hauler with the dependable 8" Solid-Center Steel Trailer Wheel from Kenda® / Americana Tire and Wheel. Designed specifically for compact trailers running standard 5-lug hubs, this wheel combines an unbroken, solid steel center dish with heavy-gauge roll-formed construction to deliver superior structural stability, rigidity, and long-lasting durability.
Each wheel undergoes a multi-step electro-deposit and powder coating process that seals the metal against road salt, moisture, and harsh environmental elements. Engineered with a standard 5-on-4.5" (5-4.5) bolt circle, a 2.81" center pilot bore, and a robust 900 lb load rating per wheel (1,800 lbs across a single axle), it meets or exceeds all Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. Choose between two clean, protective finishes: Solid White Powder Coat or Metallic Silver Powder Coat.
PLEASE NOTE: Wheel only, tire NOT included! Double-check your trailer hub's bolt pattern (5 on 4.5"), center pilot bore (2.81"), and 8-inch rim dimensions 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 and requiring a quality protective finish to prevent rust, steel bends rather than shears under severe shock loads, making it an ultra-dependable choice for utility and equipment trailers.
-
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.
