If you have the aluminum wheels (I believe you do), the back should have similar cast markings to these photos. If you have steel wheels, then you'll need to find some identifying info and look them up on the manufacturer's website.
If yours are aluminum there are two "lug patterns" for the casting, the 5 lug wheels are rated at 2150 and 6 lug wheels rated at 2830. The pressure ratings for these wheels equate to the load range for the tire sizes mounted on the wheel. 5 lug=2015= 205 75R15 LRD= 50PSI and in 6 lug rating, = 2830=225 75R15 LRE= 80PSI.
So, essentially, the casting is rated to carry 80 PSI, but the tires mounted on the casting drilled with 5 lug holes can only support 50 PSI...
Anyway, here's the photo of the information cast in the back side of your aluminum wheels.
