Just think those wheels I was on that day were the TSW Imolas. One wheel weighs 6 lbs more than the stock one.
MPH would probably stay about the same. It is not effected much by a good or bad launch. That is why it is a good indicator of how much power a car is making.

Actually have 25lbs less unsprung & rotational mass would increase both ET & trap speed.
Also a quicker 60' can translate into a slightly better trap speed as less acceleration time is wasted spinning the tires.
We are talking about dropping over 1/2 second off the 60' time.
I'd definitely agree with you if the 60' time change was just a tenth or 2.
