your wheel rate is the spring rate at the wheel instead of at the shell of the strut assembly or spring carrier in the back. the more you push out the wheel, the more leverage you get...easier to compress the springs so softens the ride.

for bound it makes it worse for the strut, rebound, makes it easier. there's give and take. usually people notice rebound undulations more, thus a lot of european dampers are only rebound adjustable vs simulateous.
