Default Wheel size

Is there a signifigantly measurable difference in acceleration and/or pull-away between 17" wheels and 18" wheels?

Gonna depend on wheel weights and your definition of significant.

good point... weight is not advertised of course... 4.9 seconds 0-60 is better than a 5.0; I'd call a quarter of a second a notch on my ruler for acceleration..
