Faster isn't always the reason for upgrading wheels! but I can see why a narrow view might only see "faster" as a reason for wheel upgrades.
I was simply repeating terminology the OP used for reasons to upgrade. One was 'faster', so I reference that.
You can back off now, or go after the OP with this aggression. Either way, leave me out of it.
