Regarding wheel weight and records:

Wheel weight only matters during acceleration and deceleration.
The hour record was set on a track, only one acceleration was
needed.  The heavy wheels are typically only used in time trial
and track events because these events are usually flat.

I think results obtained would be much different and quite
unacceptable if one tried to use them in a criterium or road
race where the riders speed up occassionally, as when coming
out of corners or over the tops of hills or attempting a break.
