Default RE: Question 20" Tire and Wheels and HP #s

ORIGINAL: Hootna

This may be a stupid question but I was wondering is there any difference in Horsepower if you are running different size wheels. I know I have heard that there is a difference in braking but just seeing what kind of effect the 20" rims have on car performance. I am looking at getting a second set of wheels probably 18" for doing some autocross etc.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

I heard someone losing 20rwhp on the dyno with 20s. His car was supercharged.

The wheel weight could make a big difference.
