So, did they make changes to the 18" wheels or did they simply test the old wheels under higher ratings?

Interesting. According to Peter @ Forgestar (direct quote below), nothing changed.

Hello,

The wheel that was test was the original design but tested in Japan and the wheels were approved at 1520 per corner. So it wouldn't make a difference if you have the 18 inch F14 wheel then or now. We have sent out a letter but to our dealers since we normally don't sell direct and they can contact there customers of the load ratings we were approved for.
