After googling the make and size I would say they have a load index of 109 so a bit under rated.

I've made an offer by message on the second set of wheels. The wrangler F1 does appear to have a load rating of 60kgs under the 1090Kg mandatory rating. So in theory if I don't load the vehicle beyond the handbooks weight limit minus 240kgs I should be o.k.
That may mean not filling the fuel tank right up, running engine oil at minimum level, limb-less children in the back, maybe remove a sticker or two.
It's a shame (almost) that the tyres have plenty of tread left in them.

the second set is a bit odd because even though they're described as Rangey wheels and the tyre rating is more appropriate for a Sport - those ARE D3 alloys - type 2 mark 2's like mine Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

You just need to watch your insurance IanG.

Done a bit of maths regarding the tread depth of the two different sets of wheels. I calculate that the 1mm extra tread on the dearer wheels equates to £65. This assumes £500 for a set of tyres fitted and a tread life of 9.5mm to 1.6mm. So given that dearer wheels would not void my insurance (biggest fear) are probably worth the extra outlay. (used the sellers minimum depths).

I now have a set of (4) 18" style 1 (5 spoke) D3 alloys in fine condition with virtually new AT2's on them which I'm told will not fit over the Brembos on the new FFRR. Tyres have only been from here to Lakeland LR and back again and have never been off tarmac. They are the correct load rating for the D3. The wheels and tyres are due me almost £700.
Anyone care to advise me on their worth please? The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

Not too good on the different wheels types, have you got a picture? I would base the price around the wheels advertised above, theres quite a few types knocking around on the bay.

btw. the AT tyres on JMC's wheels are worth far more than a std road tyre....... always on the road less travelled 🚧
