Not on bigger rims they don't. It doesn't mater if the overall diamter is the same as stock. If the rim is bigger, it WILL slow down acceleration.
ok, but how.....if its the same overall diameter and same weight...then why would it be slower???
On a smaller rim, more of the weight is close to the center. As the rim gets bigger, more of the weight of the rim gets closer to the outer part. This makes it more difficult to turn.
