MAX LOAD
2150&6/2830LBS
So just to be sure, these wheels are 80 psi rated?
Any idea what 2150&6 means?

There are no set in stone load/PSI specifications for wheels. They are certified by SAE and their manufacturer must provide individual specs upon demand.
That information you have found in orange above is probably there because the OEM provider requested it be there from the wheel manufacturer. It's probably an "in-house" reference that the wheel is compatible with tires having load capacities from 2150# LRC to 2830# LRE (which would be ST225/75R15). However the only valid answer in this case is to ask the wheel manufacturer.
If wondering about the size I mentioned, a tire load chart gave me the answer.
