Thoughts on Allied 896/898 wheels??

I must admit, I should have thought about it BEFORE buying the wheels and installing them. Just shows what a doofus I am. Best guess by the guy at Schwabs is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500 lbs per wheel due to axle rating. Could be lower too however. Not sure what I am going to do. I haul my family in this thing and I don't want to take chances with their safety.

Les Schwab will make me a good deal because I bought the H2 take-offs from them. Starting point is like $330 for Weld Cheyenne 17"s or $205 for Allied 896/898 17"s. Anybody have any thoughts?? Schwab guy says the Allieds are 2 piece forged. Says the load rating is 3400lbs.
