I've done multiple tests in class, And it's so far been proven true. I would do the test with a disc and traditional lace. But that means i need a mirror surface large enough for the rim, And i would need to spin the rims on its lip not tires ):
For wheels of equal mass and uniform mass distribution this is true. So you can't just slap on a cover and magically reduce the wheel's moment of inertia.
