Re: Alloy Wheel Load Rating???
they are usually marked up around 690kg per wheel for the bongo. this will give about 12-1300 per axle.
given that the average aft bongo is about 17-1800kg plus stuff,fuel, etc this sounds about right plus a healthy safety margin.
in the link below it shows the load index for the tyres too.
i run on 100 load ratings all round, this gives a weight per tyre of 800 kg, again well over the top, but safe.

the standard fronts for a bongo are 92 and the rears are 98 minimum, so you could work this back to give wheel load ratings
