Re: how do 17in. wheels slow you down?? (JunIntegra)
if you gonna be autocrossing then smaller wheels will be ok.if your gonna be road racing then a larger wheel is ok..basically the smaller wheels make better torque and/or acceleration and the larger wheels for handling and higher speed control

larger wheels/tire = harder to get going, but once in motion they keep you going, (possibly have a better top speed) its almost the same as flywheels. If you stick with the stock flywheel it weighs more. But once in motion its to your benefit. Light weight flywheels, you have to rev higher coming off the line and your rpms will still drop sometimes when engaged.</TD></TR></TABLE>.
you top speed will be worse because the wheels weigh more, making it harder for the car to accelerate. what it will do is; once you lift the throttle it will take the car a bit longer to decelerate on its own
