The author claims 39 more miles of range on a model 3 when switching
from 20" to 18" wheels. Really ? I suppose that could be true if you
have an enormous amount of stop-and-go. I would think the largest effect
would be the hub caps, particularly on the freeway. The wheels with open
spokes (or whatever the radial supports are called) must have enormous
air resistance when spinning.

Want more range from your EV? Get smaller wheels - Roadshow
Nov. 12, 2020 ... The secret is all in the wheel and tire package for a
vehicle. Smaller wheels weigh less and therefore require less energy to get
them rolling, making them more efficient. It seems like a no-brainer, right?
Then why do companies keep fitting larger and larger wheels to their vehicles?
Because people think they look cool ... they adversely affect the vehicle in
other ways, namely in the weight department ...
