Cars that have more grip with stock wheels List

[Master__Shake_]

Can you drag gurus please enlighten me on whether you think the difference is just gearing (rolling diameter) or do the blingly wheels actually change the grip level?

PS Perhaps this is the older thread you mentioned? https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=206404

I believe it may be both. Some rims change the ratios, other keep the ratios the same but give .001-.003 differences in times on Route X. I wouldn't think any 4WD would like aftermarket rims but some do apparently.

I know that the Dodge Charger R/T and the Plymouth Superbird are 1mph faster on the straightaway at daytona with the stock rims. However my Plymouth Barracuda is 1mph faster on the straightaway with the aftermarket 10 spoke Volk Racing rims. I have tested this.

What about the Scooby WRX STi '10? Stock or Aftermarket?
