I would have them stress relieved and trued by a wheel builder.
they seem to use regular j-hook spokes and brass nipples, so if they are properly tensioned by a competent wheel builder they should hold up well.

factory wheels are usually built by machines and they don't build the wheel properly. They often have twisted spokes and uneven tension, so getting it done by hand will make them much stronger.
