In DC comics, Barry created the speed-force and so is pretty much the speed-force incarnate. I don't recall it being stated anywhere the Wally is faster. According to one of the users here, the writers have said that this show will always be center around Barry, and as the main character, Barry should be faster. Otherwise, he'll be undermined and rendered useless.
