Hi all,
I have a very Germany-specific question I would like to use the L405 wheel Style 1065 on my L322 5.0 SC. With original tire size and so on - would normally not be problem anywhere in the world except for Germany here at TÜV the nice man who handles my inquiry told me that he has a problem with using this wheels on my car, because even if I can prove that the gross weight of a L405 TDV8 is 30kg higher than the gross weight of my L322 SC, the rear axle gross weight is lower on a L405 (1800kg vs 1850 kg on mine). Thus he cannot say, that the wheel is technically able to carry a potential weight of those additional 25 kg. Do you know, if there is somewhere a piece of paper from Land Rover that confirms that the Style 1065 wheels handle a weigt of over 925 kg? Or that these are for instance free to use on a Discovery 5 SVT 525 (released by Land Rover officially or something like that), because I know, that this one has a maximum mass on rear axle of 1900 kg as a 7 seater. It would be a great help!
Thanks,
Przem

Is the rating not stamped into the back of one of the spokes?

What about the LWB L405? Does that not weigh more sir?

I'll check on one of my current wheels, but I think that they only stamp the offset, diameter and widht of the wheel - not the load capa (what would solve my problem )
