Metak - wow, I would've never expected that big of a difference. That's huge! That said, I need to stop posting when it's so late. I notice my misspellings/typos and general errors are plentiful on the iPad when it's this late. It's not the unsprung weight that results in increased accelleration, but it's the rotational inertia. Should have been more clear. I went on a tangent entirely before I even realized it.

I brought the unsprung issue up because that can really impact cornering and traction stability on a track. Less wheel/tire weight has less impact to suspension and thus retains better traction.

jnm - it could be partially for looks. Does anyone know what the smallest wheel would work on the 1M, yet still allow for proper brake caliper clearance?
