Per given number of rotations/time, the larger the distance covered per rotation/time the higher the speed. If you pit them against each other on a ramp in a vacuum, then they'd roll at the same speed, different rotations/time 's In reality you have to factor in wind-resistance is greater than that on the smaller wheel.
