A smaller wheel will be easier to turn, but will travel less for each revolution. A bigger wheel will be harder to turn, but will go farther with each revolution.
Sticking a bigger wheel on a car that hasn't got the power to get it turning properly will make you slower - not faster.
Sticking a smaller wheel on a car that's already red lining the tach won't make it faster either.

Does the size of the wheel affect the speed?
The size of the wheel effects the number of rotations of the tire but not the speed at which the rotations occur. A huge wheel moving at ten miles per hour is going no faster than a small wheel going at ten miles per hour. The difference is that the larger tire makes fewer rotations than the smaller one, but the speed of the rotations does not change.
