A couple of years ago, one of the off road magazines did an article on wheel strength. I don't remember for sure which magazine it was, but they contacted TUV, a testing facility in San Diego, to see how strong various wheels were. Manufacturers send their wheels to TUV for testing before they assign wheel ratings.
The bottom line was that the M/T Challenger (16/8 wheel), despite a 3,000lb rating, was the strongest wheel of its size they had ever tested - steel or aluminum.

in my own opinion,,,,the Weld super singles, Centerline EXTREME DUTY BILLET WHEELS, and the Alcoas are all great wheels, I will never gross over 12,000 lbs with my truck, the centerlines and the welds have far nicer styling than the alcoas, IMO, and I settled on the centerline comet III extreme, I hope they dont crack, and if they do, i'll replace 'em, and i won't loan 'em to anyone with a 747... LOL
