Larger wheels (I am reffering to wider) offer more traction and will help in cornering as well as acceleration and braking. The reason I got larger wheels is the look, the width, and the sidewall. A smaller sidewall will flex less than a larger one (unless you are a racing tire expert and know which ones have the stiffest sidealls), thus helping cornering. The "wheels with all the bolts" are either on there for looks, or for multi piece wheels. These wheels are usually forged and are lighter and stronger than cast wheels, By having 2 or 3 piece wheels you can take them apart and give it a longer lip, or a different center, not many people ever do this but the option is there if you are a pro racer.
