Wheels for ML

There are few nice aftermarket wheels for the ML. However, there are quite number for the CLK and S class. I.e. Mode R1, MIM11-2, Borbet H and BBS RK. Does anyone have experience using these wheels on an ML?

Also, the RH tpye X is very pretty but seems to be unavailable for MB?

I think MB cars are mostly et 30 to 38 and the ML is about 50mm. Wonder if anyone is using et 35 or 38 on an ML?

CLK and other "car" wheels do not have enough load capacity for an ML

Luke,

I would accept that for the CLK but a fully loaded S-class is about as heavy and can develop much higher cornering speeds.

How can one tell the load capacity of a rim. Is there a code?
