That's dang close to the ratings on all of the wheels I posted pics of. The lowest is 3200 and goes up from there. For comparison, a steel wheel same size is rated at 2000 pounds.

I guess I'm not really worried about the lugs holding the wt, and if I need I can make up some centric rings to out between the hubs and the rims.

Yes sir. I'm just glad that this discrepancy didn't become a major controversy.

That's 4 1/4". I take a lot of pictures like that and the camera had to be up a little which gave it that angle. It's 4 1/4".
