Not to disrail Mark's thread, but at basic, its like a engine flywheel. If you can get it going, it makes the engines job less and allows it to tackle load shocks easier as well, however it does take a lot to stop it... a heavier object requires more force/power to get it moving/rotating.
For wheels/tires, a lighter combo would be much better for stop and go because your engine does not have to work hard to get them moving, but if you were strictly highway driving there may be a slight benefit to having a heavier wheel as it will naturally want to keep rotating, so you may coast more etc.
