Small wheel = Low Rotational Inertia = Faster acceleration. Tie that in with a "Short" tire, and you effectivly shorten the gearing of the car = Even Faster acceleration. and if its a wide wheel.. like a 13X7.... then you'd be even better off. Esentially, for racing, be it Drag or what not, you want to run the smallest wheel you can fit over your calipers. but unfortunatly for us, Im pretty sure the smallest we can go is 14"
my friend with junkyard turbo has 13s with slicks because he goes to the track alot. He got better time by me but not by much but when we race in the open, i usually take him by couple cars.
