Rims help a lot, bigger and wider rims means wider tyres with less flex. Your tyres are the first piece of contact b/w the car and the road, very important to have the right type of rims. Don't forget forged rims, can take some weight off too!

So in short...YES

I'm willing to bet his rims actually added weight to his car, and they are probably not wide enough to make any form of difference. And if they are taller then he is slowing his car down yet again unless he compensated for it with gearing/power(which I'm sure he didn't).

I guess I consider performance mods to be ones that actually make some from of a difference
