I just don't see it!

I had customers that owned/worked in repair and tire shop say that when customers added big 22-24” rims the braking performance of the car would go down and the car would wear through brakes much faster.

These big rims are heavy and the revolving weight moved outward creates more centrifugal force.

The reduced tire diameter was one of the design concepts of this Can Am racer in 1970

But that depends on the actual wheel. The Enkei RPF1's I run on my Duster in 18x9 and 18x10 with 275/35/18's and 295/35/18's were lighter than the 15x7" cop wheels with 225/60/15's that they replaced. And the total wheel/tire diameter remained similar. If you buy cheap large diameter wheels and tires you can add weight, but just because a larger rim diameter was used doesn't automatically mean the wheel got heavier.
