A tenth of a second on a short track or cone course is not enough to account for human error between laps.
There's also rotational moment of inertia to consider, which is simply put, how much the wheel resists the torque applied to it. It is possible, although unlikely, for a heavier wheel that has more of its mass concentrated towards the inside to actually have a smaller rotational moment of inertia than a lighter one. That and/or the fact that the tires should affect it much more than the wheels could account for the machine not noticing a difference.
