What is the max load on our factory wheels?
Looking at some aftermarket wheels that have 1050kg max load. Want to make sure that's equal to or higher than our factory wheels.

What is the standard tire load range? I have 114 XL on mine which is 2600 Lb. There are 454 g per pound so 1,180 KG. It should be at least the lowest OE tire load range, which I think might be 111.

Thanks Brock. I'm a little confused. the tires I'm looking at are also 114 XL 2600lbs. So is 1,180kg the max load rating I need on the wheels? Please educate me.

All I'm saying is that the wheels should be able to carry at least what the minimum orignal equipment tire rating is. If your wheels are lower rated than your tires, they are setting the capacity, not your tires. You would assume that any wheel would at least equal or better the minimum sidewall rating for a GL which, I think, but you should check, is 111.
