Even if the tires are the same weight and the wheels are the same weight, the car should accelerate faster with the smaller wheel/taller tire combo because more of the wheel/tire weight is closer to the center.
Think figure-skater pulling their arms and leg in to speed up a spin. |

Does anybody know the weight of the stock 15" rims. I saw someone else ask but didn't see an answer. Don't mean to reask but curious.
