Any wheel manufacturer too cheap to make an assortment of varying bolt patterns doesn't deserve my business. Its just drilling holes, after all.

You don't drill EXTRA holes on the same wheel to weaken the wheels, fewer holes is more solid and less chance of it cracking between the holes that aren't being used...trust me
24"s with exposed bolts just don't look as good...because the bolts are too small in comparison to the wheel.

I didn't mean to drill more holes because it's easy to do. What I meant was that any manufacturer that is too cheap to stock an assortment of wheels with appropriate bolt patterns, instead drilling multiple holes for a universal fit, is not a manufacturer I would buy products from.
Back in the day 35 or so years ago, factory wheels were mostly all stamped steel with decorative hub caps. A cheap and easy way to cover up and decorate wheels. Our hotrodding aftermarket upgrades were always shiny mag rims with pretty chrome lugnuts. There is something about a cover (regardless of big or small) that feels too much like a hubcap of old. To me, wheels displaying a large populous ring of beefy lugs suggests mucho strength, brawn. I do agree that a giant wheel with a teeny weeny ring of 5/6 puny lugs in the center looks disturbing; however, to me, that's one reason not to go with giant donk-like rims but what the hay, as long as the owner of them rims is happy, who cares what anyone else thinks, right?
Here's are 18" factory rims that I wouldn't mind getting an extra set for my HD, to install more aggressive tires on, and to get a bit more weight capacity over my factory 20" alloys.
The ones below are similar to the ones on my truck. Mine has chevy bowtie in the center instead of GMC but other than the center cap, the rims themselves are identical. The center cap is actually a very nice quality piece of trim. They are 20" inchers and I would NOT want them any lower profile than they already are. I actually USE my truck to haul, and prefer more aggressive lugs and higher capacity. Try finding luggy aggressive tires for the 20's, they are hard, no, impossible to find in that aspect ratio. The factory tires are rated for M/S but neither performs as good as I like in those situations. The traction is not nearly as good as I like in the snow, and I already got stuck once, big time, in my driveway (before I paved it with rock/gravel). The big pillowy balloon like BF-Goodrich TA KO's in my Hummer H2 performs far better, and I never got stuck with those, nor have they ever skidded (yet) in the snow.
from look of tires next to truck it looks like it needs to be raised
. I love lowered trucks with HUGE rims...i personally hate wheel gap, and like driving low...on the ground...i have a fear of heights
