The three rims that came on Olivia appear to have been on for a while and I pulled home 600 miles with no visible fracturing or catastrophic failure. I feel that if these rims were designed for a 4X4 off road truck, surly my Cadillac riding Airstream can be any rougher on them. You have raised a doubt in my mind  , so do you know how to find these ratings? And thank you for not being a Gloomy Gus on the matter for I'm still learning and am very impressible  I also have three different rims and will need help identifying which ones are A/S I will send pics later.

Any wheel weight rating below 2600 pounds, is asking for trouble.
Toyota wheels are not designed for twisting, that your trailer does to the wheels,
everytime you make a turn.
Remember, if a wheel blows, and you hurt someone, they can easily prove you deviated from the RV industry standards.
That being the case, make sure you carry tons of liabilty insurance.
