FuzzyRyder hasn't taken his medication, so just ignore him. If you are looking for performance, don't get those rims, as they do belong on a lowrider. If you are looking for some bling bling on a bike that's only ridden for transportation, then get them. Expect to get laughed at though.

Perhaps he's just a kid that doesn't know better. Go easy on him.

Definitely get them - you are quite clearly in need of some bling in your riding style since actual skill or brains completely eludes you.

Just like there are some people that only race, and don't do tricks, there are others that just ride their bikes for transportation. I still say cut him some slack until he does something really annoying.

It's unlikely that they'd ever get out of true. Tensioning is another story - that would be a nightmare.
