Can we get the ET info on these two rims?

Also, do you have load rating data on these two rims so we know which is
stronger?

The information on load rating is relevant to those of us who like to smash
around overloaded.

OK, both rims are 15 " diameter x 6.5" wide (this is where the tire seats).
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.

Thanks,
