Softail Wire Wheel Strength

Does anyone have any real world numbers on how much HP and TQ a factory 17 x 6 40 spoke wheel can handle? Ive looked for a link but couldn't find anything, I have to think someone has some data on what exactly a wire wheel can handle. Thanks in advance

if anyone was wondering I just got word that a factory standard 40 spoke wire wheel will handle nearly 200/180 of HP and TQ. Braking hard alone creates almost 200 lbs of TQ

Interesting brake torque observation. Hadn't looked at the question from that angle.
