NZS 5419 – Motor vehicles – Light alloy road wheels

Sets out minimum requirements for type approval based on performance testing of light aluminium alloy and magnesium alloy road wheels for vehicles with a gross mass not exceeding 3.5t. Wheels may be cast, wrought or of composite construction. Applies to wheels which are designed for normal driving conditions, and does not purport to apply to wheels which will not fracture or fail under conditions such as may be experienced in an accident. It should be noted that wheels conforming to this Standard may fracture under conditions similar to those which produce severe buckling or failure in steel wheels.
