Their website makes no mention of load ratings, you'd be best off asking them direct or if you can get a look at them the wheels themselves should have markings on them that would tell the rating.

Absolutely, but trying to get a jump on the Christmas shut down and the wheels are 80 miles away and guy is not sure where to look.
I found some ratings pretty easily on Google, but I don't know what size you are potentially buying?

Really ?I thought I had tried every variation of question and came up with nothing..please apply your wizardry to 19x9.5 and I can save myself a) a ton of money and b) to avoid mine ending up a slightly shabbier version of your fine motor.
LK Performance has this nifty setting when searching wheels for commercials, where you can tick or untick if you want the correct load rating or not.
Your chosen wheel comes up in the 'Not rated high enough' section for a T6 if that helps @Toooldforthis

That is a shame, he has them on a T6 and they look great..but not without the right rating, I carry a lot, when THQ fitted my B14s they set the rears near full height and it still sits low! Thanks for your help@Tourershine
The LK website could be wrong of course, but it's a good general guide and they include from a T26 right up to the T32 as rating not suitable on the 1552 Tarmac.
Welcome to the headache of wheel searches, although a T28 at least gives you more options than us fat bottomed T32 boys.
Save yourself some dosh and whack on a set of none banded 18" steels with some spacers. This will be rated correctly and look as 'fine' as my motor (your words)

If steels it would have to be 19" Landys (sorry)... It sits well, although filthy from the trip up to THQ, the 16s just don't cut it.

Ah, but the 19s are a banded steel wheel and if load rating is important, then you have a whole new issue with banded, hence the 18" Amarok none banded suggestion. You'd be pleasantly surprised on how good they look on a lowered T6. Just my opinion.

Decisions decisions
18" Amarok steels on mine, albeit banded, but you get the general idea how they might look. Black wheels on a Black van are a hard combo to pull off, but in Silver they would look better, or Chrome.

Possibly, also eyeing up 17" T32 GPs, thanks for your input will post up the outcome
Say what you like about a Transporter that's had ££££££ thrown at it and I appreciate the work gone into many of these vehicles, even more so if the work is done by the owner, but that above is how a T6 should look in my humble opinion. Low, factory everything and a set of stunning 18" VW steels.

Quick update, load rated at 735, fine for T26..no good for me, but might help anyone else looking to fit.
