Load Rating
Can a wheel with a load rating of 1520lb withstand the highest lateral g-forces generated by a summer performance radial. In other words would fail on the street?

That would depend on how heavy the vehicle is and how many lateral g's the car is capable of producing...but odds are that you would lose traction long before failing the wheel if we're talking about a first-gen or something similar. Keep in mind that the manufacturers have built in a factor of safety for the load ratings.
