2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission alloy wheel rating?

My brother has an 04 Powerstroke 2500 with Alunimim wheels. Nobody can balance them! Ford ends up putting sand bags in them so you can drive the truck. Not the wheels I would want on my truck.

If you're still curious about the weight rating try inspecting the inside of the wheel after you remove the cracked wheel and dismount the tire. I think the weight rating will be molded or stamped somewhere on the inside of the wheel. I've seen that on other wheels.



As others have said, the rating will be approximately one fourth of the GVWR for your truck or a minimum of approximately 2500-3000# per wheel. Dodge and other manufacturers don't make the wheels. An aftermarket supplier like Hayes-Lemmerz, Accuride, or other manufacture the wheels and sell them to Dodge and other truck makers.

The wheels will be rated for the same weight as the stock tire. Anything less would not make sense. I don't remember if my 01's have the rating stamped on them, but the '89 did and it was 1 pound more than the stock tire rating.
