They will be plenty strong enough for a van not loaded to the max. If
you never do load it up fully you should be OK. Lots of these vans in
Germany with big wheels & low tires... and I see plenty of commercial
Japanese vans here with ordinary alloys. NEVER heard of an alloy
wheel breaking under normal use (except for Speedline magnesium
motorcycle wheels, but that metal is insane for use in road wheels
anyway).

And these vans are T3s, not T2s The T2 is the Bay. T2�Type 2.
