What are the stock rims (16x7) rated for weight wise? Is there a number or stamped code for wheel ratings?
What are the strongest style rims to buy?

I think this is what Ford uses on the 1 ton dually. They have a really good reputation.

I think it may be stamped on the wheel.If I get a chance and don't forget I'll dig up one of my old ones and look.

This is from a Mickey Thompson ad...M/T Hot Die Forged Wheels are 4 times stronger than aluminum wheels (meaning cast)and twice as stromg as steel wheels.This is their ad of course and they aren't going to say they are junk.
Having said that,I own two sets of "Mickeys" and I can say that they are a high quality wheel.One unmentioned benefit is,less balance weights needed compared to factory steel.
