Does anyone know the weight rating for the MB motoring Gunner 8 wheels? I have a read a couple posts of cracking so I want to make sure the weight rating is sufficient before proceeding. Otherwise anyone have the MKW wheels rated at 3500#??

 

Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated!

 

Why not contact the manufacturer or a dealer?

 

I have a different style mb wheel they are rated at #3100

 

I tried contacting the manufacturer and got the preverbial returned email about a full mailbox. Tire Direct, which appears to be the exclusive dealer, is a bunch of young kids that don't know anymore than just if they look cool or not.

RDRASH.....where did you find that information on the load ratings?

 

Stamped in the back of the wheel

 

I put a set of Gunner 8's on my 2500 yestreday. The manager at Discount Tire told me the wheel was rated at over 3400 lb. I had Michelin LTX AT/2 275/65/20 E installed. They are rated at 3750 lbs. single. I wanted as tall a sidewall as I could get in the 20" Michelin.

 

The manager I spoket o at the store had no idea. He basically said that considering they sell it for a 3500 truck it is rated at least or better than the stock ones. Not much help on a true rating. MBN.....is that stamped on teh inside of the rim??

 

I've got the 20"x10" 3400# rated ones on my truck turning 40's with them. No cracks or problems and I tend to abuse my truck. But if you do get them, put a good polish on them very first thing before they get dirty. You'll be glad you did. I recommend the mothers chrome cleaner/polish.

 

Actually thinking of the anthracite ones since I live in WI and all the salt on the roads. Is that 3400# stamped on the wheel or did you find it someplace else?

 

It's on the boxes. That was the only way I would take them is if they could show me the weight rating. I got mine for about 200 a piece on sale a Discount Tire. For a chrome wheel in that size, I couldn't pass it up. They didn't have anthracite at that time or I probably woulda done those.

 

The rating was stamped on the box. I did not look at the back of the wheel.

 

Thanks for the information. Still a bit nervous about it just being on the box and not the wheel. They could slap any sticker on the box.

 

How are you liking the 275/65/20s? DO you like the size of that tire?

 

Try this web site below. Without your sig info or knowing exactly what size rim you want, this is the best I can do.
