Excellent point. This is sometimes forgotten. The overall rotating mass and moment of inertia can affect braking and even steering to a degree. But you have to consider also total differences between the original wheel tire combinations. Going from steel to steel will for sure be more (especially if you go wider as well). But aluminum may not differ as much.
