Re: ADVICE ON RIMS
Can't read the brand but I would imagine so. What do the specs say?
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: ADVICE ON RIMS
I'm no expert, but I'm wondering if 750kg is not a bit low.
For peace of mind check it against the gross axle weight rating.
I got this off the TSW site ......
" The load rating of a wheel, as determined by the wheel manufacturer, must never be exceeded. Manufacturers identify a wheel’s maximum load rating and tire diameter by checking the back of the wheel or with the wheel manufacturer. If the load rating is not available the wheel should not be used on the vehicle. Wheel load rating requirements are determined by dividing the vehicles heaviest gross axle weight rating by 2. The axle weight rating for most vehicles is shown on the identification label located on the driver’s side door jamb, gas tank door, truck lid or glove compartment "

Re: ADVICE ON RIMS
If I read it correctly, the rear axle LC is 1600kg divided by half is 800kg per wheel. That's a bit low as I suspected - take into consideration you're loaded and have to take evasive action or you hit a pothole / bump in the road ..... will it still hold? I wouldn't like to stake my safety, the safety of my family and other road users on it.
Maybe confirm the load rating of the rims before you decide finally.
