Drag will exert a constant force regardless of mass. So heavier wheels may allow you to coast farther, but at constant speed they don't affect the drag component.

I didn't say greater mass changes drag, I said it resists drag better. As you say, the force remains constant, so with constant force and greater mass, acceleration gets a lesser absolute value.
