If we are talking about acceleration, the maximum ratio is 2:1. That happens only when all the added/reduced mass is concentrated at the radius of the wheel. In reality that is not the case and the ratio is less than 2:1. I'd estimate, that 5 lb at wheel is comparable to 7-9 lbs of non-rotating mass.
