Minimum load rating?
Zero. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

I'm guessing that you mean the minimum, i.e. weakest, that you can get away with? The weakest alloy that Land Rover have ever offered is the Tornado (Freestyle), which is stamped 850kg. They were common on the Discovery 1 but only ever offered on the 90 Defender as they weren't strong enough for the GVW of a 110.
If looking at aftermarket wheels then I'd want a rating of at least 850kg for use on a 90. It's kind of academic what the actual weight of the vehicle is as from a legal/insurer perspective it's GVW that's the deciding factor.

Yeah that was my thinking as well Anorak, I was offered some nice alloys with insta special track tyres but then I noticed 865kg stamped on them which gave me second thoughts. 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

To give you some idea what the specification of a good aftermarket alloy have a look at Zu rims
11mm offset 1400kg rating 10.4kg each TüV approved and meets or exceeds UK - European - U.S.- Canadian - Australian - South African and Japanese wheel manufacturing specifications Brendan |
