Illustration: same torque applied to both. Lighter wheel spins up faster (lower inertia). That is why 0–60 mph feels quicker.

Rotating mass acts like about 2x static weight during launches. Dropping 12 lb per wheel can "feel" like ~96 lb lighter at take-off.

Why this works (1-minute read)
Lighter wheels reduce two things: rolling resistance and the energy to spin up the wheels. That means your car does less work each mile. Less work = better MPG/more EV range, and your tires scrub less.
