I'm confused why they would be hard to quantify - other wheel manufacturers I've researched readily display that data.
CoF data -- for sure, it is on the way pending testing of the final production run. (I don't want to post any of our data from engineering samples or prototypes).

Load capacity-- We will find that number for you.
I'm sorry for confusing the issue. Of course maximum standard loading is easy to quantify. However, I've never seen a wheel fail due to standard loading, the only wheel failures I've ever seen result from impact loading (smashing a wheel off a bump or something). Those are tests we are also doing, which are significantly harder to quantify in a meaningful way.
