Wheels as a whole play a part in 2 major factors in a car, unsprung weight (untunable weight) and rotating mass (can be made more or less).

So having heavier wheels shouldnt make a car roll more right? Since the leaning is done by the chassis held by the suspension, right?


Maybe he means roll as in tires rolling forward around the corner, not roll as in side-to-side body roll.
