Rim Load Ratings

[danie]

Good morning all

Wondering if anyone has any information about the factory load ratings of the 17" Alloy rims or any of the rims specifically offered from factory. Currently in the process of analysing the rear housing for an axle load rating increase for GVM purposes and cannot find any stampings or markings on the rim to indicate a load rating.

Thank you!

Disregard, INEOS have confirmed both steel and alloy rims in 17" & 18" all have a 1200kg max load rating.

Just don't drive for long with two wheels in the air (or on an impossible incline) and all's well!

For off-road use it is good to have some reserve as loads may be much higher than on-road use. I have broken (bent) one steel rim to the extent it was no more repairable. Several minor damages that have been repaired immediately. This is also reason why I prefer steel rims.

Stay off the tilt tables!
