Here is a nice, easy to read study of the effects of wheel weight, rotational inertia and aero:-

The conclusions speak for themselves, but the big take-home is if you want to ride fast then aero is far more important than lightweight wheels and wheel rotational inertia is negligible in all scenarios.
