Assuming traction is not a factor, a 14 lb increase in unsprung weight is worth 0.3 seconds in a 0-60 sprint per Car and Driver's results, but I suspect this has somewhat to do with the effective gearing changes of the taller tires. 

The affect of reducing/increasing rotational mass is approximately equal to reducing/increasing double the amount of non-rotating mass  (5 lbs of wheel weight reduction ~= 10 lbs of cargo removal) 

Not posting for or against any opinions in the previous posts, its just a very fascinating topic and im glad Car and Driver did the testing for science

going to a larger diameter wheel also moves more of the mass towards the outer edge, which could exacerbate the negative effect of the extra rotational mass. a more appropriate test would be 4 sets of wheels, all the same size but different weights.

DO NOT DO IT. 

That's my old garage with a super cracked and uneven floor that floods badly with the lightest rain and won't dry out for weeks. That place is a mess and the landlord couldn't care less.

I've seen a lot of CL ads from these folks and was wondering about them. If this is any indication it's not confidence inspiring. Hmm, front wheel drive four cylinder? Maybe they were blinded by the wheels and the exhaust tips?

this is all you need in a car! who cares if your sitting in filth or you can't stop it once its going. those are just minor details.
