The weight is distributed among many spokes, so each spoke doesn't bear very much weight.

The force is displayed from the opposite side of the impact. The spokes, at the bottom of the wheel ( at any given moment) are idle. The spokes at the top of the wheel, or any moment of impact, for that matter, are in tension, and holding the load.

The weight is mostly carried by the top spokes which are in tension holding the hub up.

Proof: on a static non-rolling wheel, remove the bottom spokes.
