Whenever I read reviews about wheels spinning up much faster I imagine them detached from the rest of the bike and rider. In this case 200g of wheel mass represents around 0.4% of the total mass being accelerated (I’ve even doubled it for rotating mass). So any feeling of faster wheel spin up is imaginary. Lighter wheels might “feel” different but they don’t spin up appreciably faster. Not within the range of weights being discussed in this thread.
