I was given a set of aluminum 8 lug rims that are 16.5" x 12" for my 1989 Chevy Suburban R2500. The rims are identical to the ones in the link below, except they are just bright aluminum rather than chromed. Any ways, there is a sticker on in rims that say "max load 2000lbs". This is where I am concerned, the Suburban I have is a 3/4-ton, however it is a HD model and according to vehicle scales it weighs 10,436lbs. It was a custom ordered vehicle with a one ton frame and rear end and massive suspension, if you do the math and distribute 10K lbs to 4 wheels, that exceeds what the rims state they are limited to. Now I know there is more weight on the front than the rear, but it still comes out as exceeding what the manufacturer says. Yet every tire dealership I have been to says it doesn't make any difference and it's safe to use these tims on this truck. Are they full of it and just tyring to make a sale or what?

they will be just fine.
edit: and if they safeguard at 60%, then it should be good for 3300+

I think good, responsible and reputable breeders are good! At the moment though, I just like the feeling of rescuing dogs and all of my dogs since I've been alive have been dogs from shelters. So until I'm ready to put in the time and research into a purebred that would fit me, I'm just more keen on adopting. However if/when I do want a purebred I will look into good breeders or a nice breed rescue.

Personally I would be going with steel.
But for the other rims, the manufacturer safeguards at 60% of its true maximum so that would be what 2500 each.
