Find Aluminum and Steel Wheels for Your Semi-Trailer Wheel Replacement Project
Two ways to identify the specific replacement parts you need for your trailer.
- Provide your parts sales representative with the vin# of the trailer
- Provide your parts sales representative with the model # and serial # of your trailer’s suspension, which is identified on the left front hanger of the suspension itself.
When replacing a faulty air bag on your semi-trailer, you’ll also want to purchase a new air bag mounting kit and possibly new shocks. Here’s what to consider:
If you are looking to replace the wheels on your semi-trailer due to a tire blowout or because you want to upgrade from steel to aluminum wheels for a much lighter trailer with less maintenance, Utility Keystone can supply what you need.
Utility Keystone stocks Alcoa® Ultra ONE® Aluminum Wheels, and Steel Wheels from ORRCO International.
ALUMINUM WHEEL
The Alcoa® Ultra ONE® is Polished Aluminum on the inside and the outside of the wheel.
- Ten lug hub piloted Alminum wheel.
- Available in sizes 22.5” x 8.25” (standard size) and 24.5″ x 8.25”.
- 30 lbs. lighter than steel wheels and can reduce your overall weight by 300 lbs.
- Easier to maintain than steel wheels as they are corrosion-resistant.
- Typically costs 3 to 4 times more than steel wheels.
Note: be sure your wheel studs are long enough to compensate for the thicker flange on the aluminum wheel, which helps to make up for the structural integrity due to the softer metal vs. the steel wheel.

- Available in size 22.5” x 8.25”.
