As Dave says, the only really relevant weight info for a wheel is the load rating, and it would be unlikely if the load rating of a wheel is to low for a medium sized SUVs GVW. What is something that I think you could (and probably SHOULD) check is if the wheel has the right fitting for the car. All to often, the only thing people check is that a replacement wheel set has the right number of holes (4 or 5 usually) and that the PCD is compatible (so for the RAV4, that would be 5 x 114.3). BUT equally - and more so really - is to make sure the Centre Bore on the wheel matches the the Centre Bore on the car. For the RAV4, the Bore is 60.1 - if the wheel centre bore is smaller, then it will not fit anyway, but if it s larger, then the wheel will be supported by the wheel studs only and not centrally on the hub. The studs are not designed to take the weight, they are mostly only there to stop the wheel falling off! It is perfectly ok to make the wheel Centre Bore smaller with a reducing spigot ring to match the cars Bore, but larger and no reducing ring fitted, it would be most unsafe.

The trick with 476S and 915 is to apply to a small area at a time.. Say half the bonnet or one door then remove very quickly ! None of the colinite waxes need to cure ! Jetseal along with quite a few sealants need time to cure typically 15 minutes but collinite does not need this curing time and the longer its one the panel the harder it is to remove... But just use a damp microfibre to remove and all will be fine.... Another way of making it easy is to warm the wax by dropping the tin (With lid on) into a bucket or bowl of warm water as this will soften the enzymes in the wax and help with its fluidity and will be just so easy to apply.. Also apply with a damp microfibre if things are still tough.. Applying or removing with a damp cloth will not dilute the wax or reduce its fantastic durability in any way !! I now use Only colinite as a wheel sealant.. Its just awesome for this as after all our wheels are just another painted surface and Colinite has the greatest durability of any wax I have or have ever used and that's quite a few !
