Tires & wheels for towing

OK I'll bite. What in the world does towing a fifth wiheel have to do with the weight rating. Loading 6000 pounds in the bed or putting 3000 pounds of fifth wheel in the bed, what in the world is the difference? Maybe I just totally don't understand. Would someone please explain?
Many of the bling rims have a 2000-2500 lb rating which is just fine for a grocery getter but outright dangerous for someone that carries maximum weight in their bed or tows a FW with a heavy pin weight.
So what you/they are saying these wheels are useless for any type of towing or load carrying. Then for everyone in this forum my thought would be, did you buy the truck to do a job or did you really what a grocery hauler?
My point being is, if you are limited to 2500 lbs.,the whole purpose of owning a truck is useless for what the truck is design to do. It's kind of like the young guys that pay for a diesel only to put oversized tires on it to go "muddin". I must be getting old. I just don't get it.
