It should spin a little, but certainly not as freely as, say, a bicycle 
wheel.  I was surprised by how hard it was to spin the front wheel, 
too.  Your brake pads are going to drag a bit against the rotors, and 
there's probably drag from the bearings, etc.  As long as it doesn't 
make any funny noises and your speedo is working, you're probably OK.
