All of those issues can be caused by a problem with the VSS (vehicle speed sensor). Whether it is just dirty or is failing or maybe there is a wiring problem between the PCM and the VSS.

Rims shouldn't affect the VSS readings.

It might potentially be the cause for the ABS/brake/etc light, but it shouldn't affect the speedometer.
