Same argument people make on this forum when a member gets new shoes for their car... "HOW MUCH DO THE RIMS WEIGH"??? Now why would people care about the weight of their wheels?
I personally dont think that drag will make a difference even on the straightest of tracks... Plus the power you gain would make up for it anyways. As for weight of wheels, that seems like a retorical question...

You may be underestimating the importance on minimizing drag as much as possible specially if you track your car. LOL yes, about the weight of the wheels; definitely a retorical question.
