Wheel problem

Original equipment steel wheel on 2004 Dodge Sprinter broke along "spokes". This could be a life threatening condition at highway speeds or in a loaded van. I noticed a noise coming from the wheel and took it to a shop where they could find nothing wrong because the cracks in the wheel are very difficult to detect unless inspected very closely. The wheel that failed was never abused or mistreated in any way prior to failure. I still have the broken wheel if you wish to inspect it. I am now running on the spare. Should I replace all 4 wheels on this van? will the others also fail? are all 2004 Sprinter wheels this dangerous?.
