The feel and handling changes a lot, even the tyre makes a difference - don't get cheap tyres even if you have cheap wheels. Some wheels are specialised for TT or climbing whilst others are all rounders. Hard to explain the feel of a nice wheel & tyre combo but it certainly gives you confindance zooming down a fast and twisty descent.
