I dont think anybody would say the wheels would affect performance! especially iof they were exactly the same size / tyres etc...
You could argue that the bigger / wider the wheel the more grip!
& small wheels allow for better acceleration - correct me if I am wrong?

Wheels make a pretty noticeable difference, as they are rotational weight and they are also unsprung mass. The reduction in weight will allow the spring shock to function a lil better, ie better handling and the reduction in rotational weight will lead to faster acceleration and deceleration. It has to be a decent change in weight to be really noticeable however.

Depends what use there for really doesn't it, if its track use then would it still make a difference, might be wrong but thought that a track surface would be a lot better than the road!
