In an ideal driving situation without any forced stops of any kind, heavier wheels would help you coast further using P&G (engine off). It would take more energy to get the vehicle up to a given speed, versus lighter wheels, but coasting distances would be longer.

Unfortunately few of us experience those ideal conditions, therefore lighter wheels are better.
