The 5 wheel Bauer wheels are 47mm/80a. Smaller wheels get rolling faster, but have a lower top speed. Also, it puts more "blade" in contact with the floor
Also, think about this..

more wheels=less friction

less friction=faster acceleration

have you ever seen a set of professional speed inlines? K2's are 5 wheel and about 2 ft long. Much longer than the boot. But they use large wheels.
