Another aftermarket wheel question

Are there different weight ratings for wheels like tires have?  I'm wanting to put some new wheels on my Suburban and tend to really load it down at times. I've pulled across a set of scales with it at over 9,000lbs for the truck. Most I've scaled at was a little over 18,000 pulling my dozer and probably won't ever be over that.

I just don't want to buy some Chinese crap just to find out that they cant handle the weight.

There certainly are weight limits for wheels/rims.  Whatever store or vendor is selling the wheels should provide the maximum load rating.  I'd be careful with that too; as far as I know OEM wheels are usually the strongest you can have on any vehicle.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong. 

Now that you mention it, maybe those Summit Legend wheels aren't such a great idea for my Charger after all...
