I don't think it's quite fair lumping it in with purely aesthetic mods that will in fact hinder your performance. It's more of an experiential thing than something you can quantify with lap times. I'm no faster or slower around a course with the flat bottom wheel but if I enjoy interacting with the car more because of it then it's worth it to me.
Exactly this.

It's the thick wheel with big thumb grips that makes all the difference. The flat bottom looks cool but I would have happily bought the same wheel even if didn't have a flat bottom.
