130 Puma alloy rims

Hi all, I want to replace my steel H/D Wolf rims with alloys to save some weight. What are the recommendations to keep as close to the 3.5t GVM? Am considering the DAKAR style or the SVX style but am not sure if they will cope with my weight, vehicle is usually at 3t.

I think Blindos are one of very few - perhaps the only - rims with the required capacity.

You won't save any significant weight, tough alloys are heavy!

I ran the VBS nemesis wheels on my 130 as they have the required load rating for a 130.
The 16x8 have a 1200kg rating and the 18x9 have a 1450kg rating.

ZU alloys have a high enough rating for a 130 as well, run them on mine as road/summer wheels and Wolfs for offroad/winter
