i think going fast (top speed) and going fast (acceleration) is what is getting mixed up here. also what is getting mixed up here is the definition of wheel, we are not talking about size of rim only, but the overall diameter and circumference of the wheel + tyre. but this is just repeating itself now, as rishi has already explained this in his very informative post.
p.s while i was writing this stumo just said basically what i wrote about the tyre bit :doh:

:target: ha ha ha you guys will argue about anything!!
good arguement though!
will get you all on track one way or another, pete aint doing all this organising for nothing you know!
and there aint nothing wrong with essex boys, we can wind peeps up better than anyone!
nite nite time now.

Still waiting on some shims!

I urge you to stop.... Really... You're starting to really worry me... :shock:
Rocket Scientist - AJ4 is going to have a field day with you... :lol:
i can see your train of thought but its just not right... Remember you have to forget about power and torque and just look at the fact that if you had 2 GTiR's in the same gear/ratios and the same rpm it would be the one with larger wheels that would be travelling faster...
You are looking at it the other way around where two cars of the same torque then the one with smaller wheels would accelerate quicker as it doesn't take as much energy to turn the wheel... And even then you seem to have the concept of rpm, distance and speed wrong...

let me make sure i've got this right as i'm having trouble keeping up.
big ones fast
small ones slow
essex bloke stupid

pulsarboby said:no no no i aint on drugs:shock: fact!!! bigger wheels means faster acceleration but lower top speed! its a matter of gearing.
on a pushbike 5th is smallest gear at rear, pedal slowly go faster.
big gear is first, pedal same speed and pull away quickly
same thing with wheels smaller wheels = more top speed but slower acceleration
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' bigger wheels= max acceleration but lower top speed!
its the same thing as gear ratios, dont take a rocket scientist to work that out!!!
go back to the drawing board
I think you need to go back to school matey :shock: :roll: , For someone that says he races his car you just made yourself look a total fool :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .
I can't be ar5ed to put you right :yawn: :roll: , Or answer this stupid top speed question that 99.9% of forum members already know the answer to :der: :roll: .
Stumo/troll where do we keep finding these thick brain dead halfwits ?, Is their a special school that keeps churning out halfwits or is it just an Essex thing ?.

i was being sarcastic ;-)kenan said:
the smaller rolling radius = quicker acceleration is not entirely true in the real world.
the smaller wheel/tyre combo will indeed accelerate quicker but it will also break traction easier which will mean your not accelerating anywhere :doh: so a bigger wheel may get up you through the gears quicker aswell... of course this applies to cars with big power more than a lowered power car

:doh: your all the thickos who didnt get that i was simply bored and thought id amuze myself by seeing how many peeps i could wind up!!
lambs to the slaughter,all of you.:loco:
think ill find a cliff and jump off and you can all follow me and we can argue on the way down to whos gonna hit ground first!!!!:fight1: :fight1: :fight1: for those that still dont realise,I'm now trying to save face after being made to look a total fool, by saying it was a wind up!!!
