True, but one of the primary reasons for multi piece wheels for racing is that teams can replace an inner or outer rim, without having to junk the whole wheel. Not really a concern in F1, where you can toss a $15k wheel in the trash heap without thinking about it, and as stated, to save the last few grams, the single piece wheel is lightest.
