Possibly, but the only thing I would say that related to my butt dyno is really only the reving and braking. Quite posible the feeling of smoothness is more due to its effect on suspension. Theoretically, it is worth only about 2% of equivalent mass the most.
Grip, turn-in and ride are substantially better. Bumps on regular routes no longer trigger traction where it used to whilst MDM is on. Comfort was improved - specifically I can feel more little bumps, but bumps doesn't feel as harsh - now, and I am only comparing regular routes that I travel. Turn-in was quicker despite the PSS which everyone says which was worse than the stock ps2. These were substantially different enough - as I personally wasn't expecting the difference to be this much. This make sense because all these related to the difference in wheel plus brakes alone - which is >20% difference.

Sparoz is the fuel consumption gain is still in effect and from your POV related to the light weight wheels?
OP, nice wheels and in spite of their price: tempting, ... thx for posting.

It settled around 10.6 whilst I was still DDing the car. Theoretically the difference shouldn't be that big - so probably something else is at play.

It is seducing, as long as you don't ruin the axle at the same time:
