What am I missing here? RealTimeRacing ITRs run on 17" wheels... They aren't slow.

Most 17" wheels weight significantly more than stock; even if they're lighter (like in my case) the larger rotational mass (of the wheel) = more torque required to turn the wheel, which equates to slower times. Tough to imagine how a 14.75 lb. wheel would slow me down as opposed to a 16+ lb stock wheel but it does
