Wheel load ratings

Hi,

I'm new to here and I'm afraid a bit of a fraud.

I had a 3.2 Carrera a number of years ago, and would ideally love another Porsche, but currently all I have is a set of Boxster wheels for my VW camper.

I'm hoping you chaps can help with the load rating of my Boxster wheels, they have FR=4400N embossed on them and I think this is the load rating. Am I correct in thinking this as it only equates to about 450kg which isn't enough for my van.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Chris

Don't have specific knowledge regarding wheel loads but 450 kg/wheel is not enough for a VW camper van? What's that dude weigh? I thought the old Safari vans were about 1000kg total.
