California joker t4 2.5 tdi 1998

[Carloto cotta]

Hello everyone
I am from Portugal, I'll be sharing my experience with my beautiful California.
I just bought it yesterday and change the original iron wheels to an aluminum audi a4/A6 wheels. (both in the pictures below) I've been told it's safe, but also that these are more fragile and might be dangerous. What's your opinion?
Thank you

Are the wheels stamped with weight??

Hey. I don't think so...

They might not be suitable

Welcome! Nice Joker California!
I would check the papers/COC to get the correct ones. Honestly I like steel wheels too

Hi, If you should find you need to change them, you can pick up original 15” VW load rated Caravelle alloys on ebay for around £100 (for 4).

Normally stamped on the inside rim, with 103 Load Rating. Higher is fine but not less than 102. Tyres should have same load rating or higher. If not correct Insurance could be refused. Take care.

You must have the correct load rating for the wheel or else
this can happen.

Have a look on your logbook for the axle weights and go from there, i very much doubt
that audi a4´s will have enough weight rating.

Get your steels back on.
