Just check what weight they are rated for , might be strong for a 200 Kg ATV but not for a 500Kg road car with the extra forces of holding it onto the road with fast cornering and sticky rubber ..... They do look great though , are these similar to the ones that have been on the Aust ebay lately being sold as Mini mags ?

The tyres would be perfect for a Moke :lol:

There are tons of ATV and Buggy rims that have the same kinda sizes and ratings..... but I am almost certain it would be illegal to fit them to a road car. All "LEGAL" wheels must comply to Australian Standards. If you crashed a car that was rolling on ATV wheels, your insurance would be void because the ATV wheels have not been tested or approved for the relevant Australian Standard.
