15x5 Trailer Wheel 5 Lug (5x4.5) Aluminum Orange Machined — Rhino CW515
This listing is for one Rhino CW515 aluminum trailer wheel in an orange machined finish. The wheel measures 15x5 — 15 in diameter, 5 in width — and uses the 5-lug 5x4.5 (5x114.3 mm) bolt pattern found on many utility, boat, and RV trailer axles. One-piece aluminum construction does not rust the way bare steel does.

FAQ
How do I confirm 5x4.5 will fit my trailer?
5x4.5 means five lug holes on a 4.5 in (114.3 mm) bolt circle. On a 5-lug hub, measure from the center of one stud to the outer edge of a non-adjacent stud; a reading close to 4.5 in indicates a 5x4.5 pattern. The measuring guide linked below walks through it with photos.
What torque should I use on the lug nuts?
Use the torque specification from your axle or hub manufacturer for your stud size, tighten in a star pattern, and re-check torque after the first 50–100 miles of towing. Re-checking after the first trip is standard practice on any newly mounted trailer wheel.
Do trailer wheels need to be balanced?
Generally no. Trailer axles do not steer, so small imbalances are far less noticeable than on a tow vehicle, and most trailer wheels are mounted without balancing. If you tow long distances at highway speed and want smoother wear, balancing beads inside the tire are a common option.
