Is there a visible difference between 17" and 18" rims / tires?
Has anyone actually tested this on the quarter mile?

Ok, well then you need to explain your question a bit more.
Heavier rims will slow you down (unsprung, rotational weight), but as long as the rolling diameter stays the same, it will have no impact on performance (aside from weight)
Now if you were to change the rolling diameter you could improve top speed (larger diameter) or acceleration (smaller diameter).
