Here is an excellent article on wheel tire plus sizing vs increased performance. Ill search the Grass roots archives to see if I can get the original article.
Motor trend did a similar test in 1995 with a 540i recanted here:

There was a discussion in another section about oil increasing HP where I stated that wheel weight is probably the largest killer of HP (power to the wheels is a better choice of words than hp) and performance. A few more lbs of air in the tires will probably give you a larger increase in performance than a lighter oil weight---was basically my statement. I found the article I based my statement on and thought I would pass it on here where it is more appropriate.
