If you could figure out a way to drive on train tracks then wheel weight wouldn't matter much, but as it is every time you hit a bump or pot hole your wheel has to be lifted up and over that bump, the lighter the wheel the easier it is for it to move with the suspension.
The ONLY time that I can think of that you want heavy wheels is on very very slow heavy equipment when you want very low ballast weight to keep the tires on the ground, in those situations you also want the weight as far out at each corner as possible to keep from tipping over or flipping forward or backwards so the tires get filled with fluid to make them heavy.
