The ET on them is 30. Now as far as load rating data, I don't know what to tell you. There are some other numbers cast on the rims beside the part numbers but I don't know if any of them would be a load rating (in other words what would this look like on a rim). All I do know is that these rims were made by VW for Vanagons in South Africa. They are made for Vans with the heavier 5-cylinder engines in the back and bigger brakes in the front. The roads over there are not too great so I would imagine that they are setup to withstand the normal abuse level of potholes, etc. Any help you can give in establishing a load limit on these.
