Not those in the photo for starters!
I doubt they're load rated and the tyres are too small and definitely not load rated!
There's no 'r' in bought!

Re: What black wheels will suit my van?
See if someone can photoshop your current wheels surf carrot so you can see what they look like? I think they really suit certain vans & have black wheels with a polished lip on mine although they are in need of a refurb. If you go the polished lip route, you really need to ensure they are cleaned/polished regularly or corrosion will take hold. Here's a pic of mine (I've absolutely no idea of the make though!):

To me black wheels without a polished lip just look like you can't be arsed to wash your wheels!!
