Definitely, but the point is that some calculations have to be made and we can't simply conclude larger rim = slower. That's only true in most cases, but not all.

Damn that's fast...as expected (I said before that it should be as fast as TSX I4 6MT)..they must be having a lot of fun with it to be getting that mpg! lol!
Is this the fastest NA I4 mid-size sedan in its class? Heck, it's about as fast as Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost AWD!

I don't buy that crap history of 189hp, that little monster makes 220-230hp on the crankshaft...

Tsx i4 6mt is as fast and according to shawn's dyno, it's good for 180whp if I remember correctly.

They had run a Golf with different tires/rims, from 15" to 20"
Generally 1" bigger rims were penalizing 0-100km/h times with 0.1sec

Yes, like I said, in general, larger rim = more weight and more inertia.
However, if the larger rim is actually lighter, the effect might not be that much. I believe this discussion was started when someone mentioned the 328i M-sport is slower because of larger rims. I'd imagine BMW uses nicer (i.e. lighter rims) to begin with (considering how much a BMW and the M-package cost). Its 18" or 19" rims may even be lighter than Honda's 17" ones. For my car, my 18" Volks are quite a bit lighter than my stock 17" Enkei rims.
