Hi all,
and, of course, you will want to stop the wheelspin after take-off, so if aerodynamic means are used to spin the wheels on the approach, then these same aerodynamic thingys, now overcome by the automatic inflight brakes, will cause significant extra drag during the departure, until the wheels are fully retracted!
Then there's the nose wheels!!

I'm just full of good news!!

Cheers
