Wheels

Looking to upgrade to new wheels, mainly for looks. I currently have the stock 16" alloy wheels on my truck. What is the benefit to upgrading to a 17" or 18" wheel? I tow a car trailer with a 94 Jeep Cherokee as my main payload, a small pop up camper and once a year anout 3 tons of wood pellets. So I am not hauling any crazy weight like some of you guys are. Thoughts? Thanks!

Just making sure the wheels can handle the rated payload and speed these rigs are capable of will narrow your selection down significantly.

Stick with the 16's.
More rim = less rubber = rougher ride = parts wear faster
