Wheel load ratings

[newbie6.0]

I have been searching online, visited several forums and called a couple dealers trying to find out or atleast find out where I might be able to find out what the wheel load rating is on factory 2002 16x6 aluminum dually wheels. I've been able to find listings / ratings for aftermarket wheels, but have had no luck finding factory wheel ratings ? Any suggestions ?

Probably about the best you'll be able to find is if you take the front axle weight rating and divide that by 2, you'll have a good rating for the front wheels. Same for the rear, except divide by 4.
OEMs are pretty anal sometimes about giving out that information outside the company. Heck, sometimes even inside the company.

I was surprised too that Ford wasn't a lot of help. The aftermarket wheels all seem to be pretty easy to find the ratings on so I thought the factory info would be able to be found somewhere online but haven't come across it. I'd just hate to buy a wheel that is inferior to what it's replacing even if it may look nicer.
