Yes!
Now that that is out of the way....

True, rotational mass is dependent on distance from the center of axial rotation. But calculating them for a wheel is really quite a bit of work, so everybody just uses the 1 lb off the wheel is equivelant to 8 pounds of static mass.
Although I am not sure if that is an average approximation along the diamter or if does assume that the loss weight is along the circumfrence of the wheel.
