Hello Phillip, thanks for reaching out. Trailer rims like the Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel # LH48VR do not have a PSI rating. They can handle the PSI of any 16" trailer tire. The actual PSI rating is determined by the valve stem, which for the # LH48VR wheel is a rubber valve stem rated for up to 80 PSI.
If your tires go higher than 80 PSI, replace the rubber valve stems with the metal valve stem part # AM20906 which are rated for over 200 PSI.
