Don,
Do you know that you DON'T have the 6050 wheels already?
Even if I have only the 4850 wheels, but put the 6005 tires on, see no actual problem with the lower wheel rating because it still is seeing less weight than the 4850 rating. Also, I trust a wheel rating is able to handle excess weight better than a tire is....so now have the higher rated tires on the ??? rated rims.
Meant to get an individual weight at Escapees, but they did not have a slot available when I was ready to leave.

The only wheel that can be put on a DRV with 5/8 studs is the 6k rated wheel. Simply look at their web site. The wheels are EXACTLY the same EXCEPT for the mounting stud size.
5/8 studs wheels are a clamping type lug nut and the wheel opening fits tightly around the hub naming those "HUB CENTRIC", the 1/2 and 9/19 are a tapered lug and are called "LUG CENTRIC". Lower rating is from the type of attachment.
ALL 5/8 DRV's with 5/8 lugs in the wheel type shown in the pic above ARE 6k rated plain and simple.
