Got my last rims there. A set of Platins: https://www.platin-wheels.com/en/whe...58-gunmetal-1/
But they were imported from Germany and had to get em certified at the motor vehicle.
Still came out ahead with a nice set of rims for the winter season.
My Honda is just due for inspection, I bought it 2yrs back with an extra set of Winter tyres (on rims), and wasn't aware that it must had been documented on the grey form too by former owner.
Any experience if it's a big issue? (I'm in Canton ZH, and it's the same 17col, however in winter I use a bit narrower tyres 205/50 vs the original 225/45).
Could I still try the inspection, or it's better to change to the factory summer set?
Can I get a fine if stopped for a proper road inspection?
I would be happy to fix it in FZ Ausweis, my worry is that I dont have any formal receipts for that rim set, and I guess SVA would ask for that, right?
how did you do it?
any idea if it's possible if no proper invoice is available? (e.g. if he just buys something secondhand w/o papers)
For more detailed information see the official ASA fact sheet No. 19 which is available in French and German.
Anyway, if the rims are have dimension and are made of a material which is listed in the cars type approval nothing has to be done. If dimension or material is not listed in the cars type approval you will need a supplier conformity statement (Lieferantenbestätigung) which certifies that the rims are suitable for your car. Keep a copy in your car and be able to present it in case of an inspection.

A tyre or rim dealer can look up and print out the relevant parts of the cars type approval. Simply request a TARGA-tyre extract. You will need a the gray card and may have to pay a small fee for the service if you are not a regular customer.
If all clearances are met tyre dimensions are allowed to vary according ETRTO specifications and within +/-8% in diameter (considering nothing else was changed in the drive train).
Nobody in real life does this, so you want to get type approved wheels. I kept it simple and bought wheels that were made by the cars manufacturer and sold with the same model of car. Nobody has ever questioned them or looked for the papers... if it has to be aftermarket wheels go get the document from the seller. Dont buy any wheels that dont come with them, especially from abroad, even if the same wheel is sold in CH: Some importers seem to use those docs as the USP why people have to buy from them... and charge you for a copy.
As the link shows is there an approval procedure if you absolutely possitively need those wheels that dont sell in CH and they meet the stringent security requirements. I wonder how much that costs... probably not the business case for some cheap winter tires.
Otherwise see Section 4.5.2.1 in the higher ranking ASA guideline 2a

It is a modification of class A if the rims are listed on the cars type approval. A class A modification does not need any formalities like tests, papers, or special entry in the gray card.
I think they will let you know whether your rims are appropriate during negotiation of the appointment as you have to send all the documents to them beforehand.
By standard I mean generic.
It is also same dimension 17col etc rim set, but it's from MOM and not Honda..
As I said, when I bought the car 2 yrs back I wasnt aware of this, and dont even have an invoice..
So has anyone been in the same shoes? Should I worry? any chance to work it out w/o papers if necessary?
Looking at the above answers, what confuses me is that I see quite an active second hand rim market on internet.. would be surprised if they all have proper certificates etc to register..
As for docs I only have the FZ Ausweis and a nicely yearly updated service book
As said, get an TARGA-Tyre extract from a tyre or rim dealer and see what is actually listed in your cars type approval.
ABE is the name of the German type approval issued by the KBA (Kraftfahrtsbundesamt). As far as I am aware only the Germans authorities issue type approvals for rims themselves. If an aftermarket item has a German ABE which lists your vehicle you are all good. An ABE is a document of hierarchy class 1 which is the highest possible see Section 3.2 in ASA 2a https://asa.ch/wp-content/uploads/we...ndex.html#p=13 . You might to have the item inspected and get them listed in the gray card to be fully legal.
Check the rims if there is somewhere a marking of the like of KBA 12345. If yes then there is a corresponding ABE document. Contact the manufacturer/main distributor of the rims to get a copy of the ABE document. If your car is listed on the document you are all good.
CH Eignungserklärung vom Schweizer Importeur: Swiss statement of conformity from a Swiss importer: This is a document according Swiss regulations. It is not a type approval per se but just a conformity from the importer that the rims are suitable for the car and according Swiss regulations. A bit like the Austrian document you got. This document is available from the company which imports and sells the rims in Switzerland. It might cost a fee of up to some hundred CHF (With issuing of the document the importer takes over some product liability). If there is no Swiss importer such a document might most likely not exists.
