Are Thunder Alloys T32 Rated Or Have I Cocked Up

[duffersj]

Hi all
Just got these for my t32 goj g to get them powder coated. They were advertised as devonports but they are not . I actually prefer them but does anyone know what they are called and are they load rated for a t32
Cheers

They are thunders

 

[duffersj]

Thanks mate are they rated for a t32 ?

 

[duffersj]

hi can anyone tell me if thunders are t32 rated?
I've just bought some but before i get them powder coated I thought I had better checj but cant find anything online.

 

[duffersj]

Still cant find anything
But looks like so e people had t32s supplied with thunders

I think these are 850kg I will try and find the link that I came across

Don't know if we're allowed to link to the old place many of us used to frequent, but this link suggests they're not rated for a T32 17" Thunder Alloys - VW T4 Forum - VW T5 Forum

Thanks for the link , someone say 850 some say 875, I've checked all over the wheels there is no weight stamped on them which seems odd .

It appears not, got this from an old T5 brochure.

A quick google on that part number brings it up as a 2016 on a couple of websites.

A quick google on that information brings up https://tps.trade (sorry, couldn't help myself)

So I've now spoke to 2 vW garages and they has e both said that the weight issue with wheels was the tyre issues. They have both said that a why there was so many different thunders in brochures .
I've also spoke to an mot centre and they said they check the tyre weight rating for the mot not the wheel ratings
Just gets more confusing

I've come across this same issue. looks like 2 codes - 7H0601025H and 7E0601025G - im betting the H version is the load rated / newer one (I have a T32) - can anyone confirm that?

 

[BognorMotors]

I would need to check tomorrow to confirm but yes I think there was a lower rated thunder (from memory)

 

[duffersj]

Hi yes they are t32 tated. I have them on a t32 4motion
My brother in law had them from new on a t32 180 kombi
Hope this helps
