This may be off subject but I notice people citing wheels capable of handling pressures pressures, how can you determine what your wheels are capable of handling. Thanks
The wheels should have the capacity and max pressure stamped/cast in the wheel.
Sometimes, you have to dismount a tire to check the wheel rating, because it may be stamped in the "valley". I know that the Al wheels on my old Komfort were capable of E rated tires even though my placard was for D tires. I went to E's as soon as I realized this. That being said, I =seriously= doubt a rig placarded for E tires would have G-capable wheels on it...so the wheels would likely need to be replaced as well as tires.
