In general, bigger wheels are heavier as are the tires which means higher unsprung weight which will ulimately mean a slower car in a straight line. It usually also means worse gas mileage. It looks good though and usually fills the wheel well better.

Chapman had the right idea. Less weight, smaller cars, appropriate horsepower equals faster around the track.

Of course this is only my humble opinion.
