Although many folks seem to like the factory steelies, including myself, I think a wheel upgrade and 20” tires is a personal must have for a more rugged look.

Every time I see them, I can’t help be reminded of ‘space saver spare tires.’ Just a full sized version. lol.

I think those are the way they are so they'll be decal-ready.

I'd prefer some holes for ventilation.

Ventilation for brakes is a thing, but if it's mostly using regenerative braking, I don't think that will be an issue. Larger more rugged looking tires will mean more rolling friction and less range. Actually the smooth steel wheels may also be to minimize wind resistance too.

Good point about Wind Resistance. I didn't think of that!

Combined with non-use of the brakes because of regen-braking, that makes those hole-less wheels look a hole not better.
