Default American Eagle Wheels - weak?

I was just looking at some American Eagle Series 186 in a 16x8 (they look almost identical to Mickey Thompson Classic II's), when I noticed the load rating on them was 2100lbs, which seems pretty low compared to other wheels I've been looking at. Are American Eagle wheels not really meant for offroading?

I'm running the series 186 in a 15 X 8, with 33" tires. I've put them through there paces, and scratched them up on rocks a bit. They are doing fine. BTW, the generally look like the MT Classic II's but they have a finish on them. I bought these because I don't need to polish them. I just pressure wash and dry.

Like a clear coat? I wondered what the Super Finish meant. I think that seals the deal then. This way I don't have to wait for another 2 or 3 months. Thanks.
