The problem here is that there are truly several motivations for this rule change (one or more applying to each competitor)
Not in my case because any change in this rule (diameters only, not widths) will not affect me. I can already use 15" or 16" wheels per the ITCS (BTW I will use 15").

I won't deny that some people will try this because they think it will increase performance. Personally, I think they should knock themselves out because it will be a futile effort and keep them chasing the wrong thing. It won't make them faster.

This is silly. Wheels don't change gearing. Tires do.

Well, again, if my competitor decides to chase this instead of something that will make him or her faster, I don't care.

Won't cost me anything. Again, I already have a choice. I only continue to point this out because I'm pushing this rule change and it does not affect me. I think it's for the good of the club.

Nope. Those are pretty much the perceptions out there.
