im assuming 0-60 will be affected by it.. obviously bigger rims will be a bit heavier due to thickness as well..i was thinkin of putting a lipped rims rear wheel thicker on the back butnormal on the front..hmmmmm i wonder..

There are all kinds of variables that will determine whether a certain wheel will be slower or faster than another. But as a general rule of thumb, the bigger the rim, the slower you'll go.
