Weight of wheels only affects the power output under hard acceleration.
(because you have to accelerate the weight of the wheel also and that takes
power. It doesn't take added power to keep it rotating once you spin it up.)
At constant speed weight of wheels or flyweel has no effect on measured
power. So for a normal dynamometer run, rotating weight is of no consequence.
