They are not load rated enough for a transporter from what your advert says....
T26 = 750KG
T28 = 800KG
T30 = 805KG
T32 = 860KG
T26 = 750KG
T28 = 800KG
T30 = 805KG
T32 = 860KG
Transporter HQ are running a set of these on their new TSI but they had them ceramic polished, and they look really nice.
Out of interest is the load rating for “if I carry a ton” I need 860kg on a t32 what I’m trying to say is, is a unloaded t32 the same weight as a unloaded t28?
This is covered in numerous threads it doesn't matter if you stick a ton of bricks in the back or a cheese and pickle sandwich.
It's the maximum permissible weight.
T28 IS 2.8 ton
T30 is 3.0 ton
T32 is 3.2 ton
So in answer to your question, no a unladen T32 isn't the same weight as a full laden T28
This info isn’t actually answering my question is it? What I was trying to say was, are the load rating on the alloys for a t32 based on (what I can carry) and not the unloaded weight, because it doesn’t weigh 3.2 just sat there,

@Olly hall , the wheel load ratings are based upon the maximum axle rating, I.e how much the van can carry.
I don't think that anyone is going to say "Yes" to that question, on an open forum, in the litigious environment that we sometimes live in. Particularly if they are seen as any sort of expert on our vehicles.

I'm sure you're aware but its always worth saying,.I'd read up on the legal implications of running wheels/tyres under the required weight rating. No matter who's at fault in an accident you'd be in hot water if plod or insures get involved I'm sure those documents will help make up your mind wether it's the right thing to do or not.
@Olly hall, there is a legal alternative though. Get a company like SV Tech to down plate your axles from those of a T32 to those of a T30 or T28 if you don’t carry the weight. That way you can put lesser rated wheels and tyres on and never hold the worry of that “what if”.
I believe it is a purely paper based exercise and you don’t literally have to swap out axles etc. @andythom188 please can we have your input having gone this route yourself.

I never carry any weight in mine (apart from me and my big fat belly). So this could be of interest to me. My concern would be, as its a company vehicle and VAT qualifying, if I down grade from a T32 would I then leave myself open to HMRC coming for me for the VAT ?
I ask this as I do a lot of miles and it would be cheaper on tyres if I didn't need the load rating.
PS, I only looked at this thread as the title caught my attention. There was slight disappointment when I saw the pictures were of wheels. I was hoping for different 'big round things' to be displayed.
I thought the IND-T did exist with a higher load rating,
a really nice wheel, from a quality manufacturer

HMRC don't care about load-mass and the load-mass carrying capacity for a regular van; it just relates to pickups, I think.
