My take is that wheel weight loss is nearly equivalent to static weight loss because the angular acceleration rate is so low compared to the flywheel. Less weight is also easier for the shock to control. As noted earlier, stiffness is also a factor, but at the same time not really an actionable one since wheel stiffness data is not easily obtained.
