Default weight capacity of the 2006 Dakota rim?

I unknowingly bought Dakota 17" rims for my 1500 Ram 2007 truck. I was intending on buying the 17" RAM wheels but I didn't know the difference until AFTER I bought them.
So my question is, is the weight capacity of the 2006 Dakota 5 lug wheels the same as the 17" 2007 1500 Ram 5 lug wheels?

I do two a lot of weight from time to time and I do haul a lot of weight from time to time.

Thank you,

I'm not sure how to find out the weight capacity of either rim, but I doubt there is a difference between them. I looked through wheel specs for both vehicles on Dodges builders guide, and nothing was listed at all regarding weight limits for the wheels. I'm not sure you'll be able to find an answer on this, if you do, let us know.

This is my personal opinion. You rims will be way over what you will ever need. Your tires (rubber) will have a load limit. You will exceed the tire load limit way before you exceed the rim limit.
