I know the conventional wisdom here speaks to only running hub centered wheels, but I am wondering if anyone has run lug centered versions. as I will be needing tires at some point in the future I wanna update the wheels to alloys, but the offerings I have seen are kind of bland, and I would like to run something a bit more fitting to my personal tastes.

I found these wheels by KMC as seen here http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb206/Moritzguy/Truck070827-5.jpg
they meet the load rating as they actually exceed the eagle and alcoa rims by 500# so I know they would hold the coach, but they are lug centric rather then hub centric. I suppose I could get someone to spin some adapters, but that would add to the price. the 16" version of these rims runs around $160 a peice, and they look generally badass, and will fit with the paint scheme I have cooked up for my coach.

so basically I just wanna kno the pros and cons of a lug centered setup....
