Having said that, I've never seen a post on anyone experiencing issues with wheel leaking or breaking.
Even if your "E" rated tires are rated at 80PSI cold, I wouldn't run them over 60PSI. It just causes a very hard ride on the trailer. 60-65PSI is plenty to support under 2,000# of load per tire. Those tires are probably rated @ around 2500# each and would need 80# of pressure when carrying 5000#.

I wondered about the little rust spots. It’s all surface and just on the outside of the lip. The part that contacts the tire bead is ok. I couldn’t see running them at 80 anyway. I had thought 65-70 psi. But if the rims are only rated to 65psi, I guess my decision has been made for me. I can’t see them being 80psi rims. In spite of the metal valve stems. I’m good with running them at 60-65. They’re filled at 60 right now.
One more thing to put on my “maybe get next year” list…
