If the performance was the same, they wouldn't add cost by putting on lighter wheels on sports cars. Lighter wheels handle better; they provide more direct steering, are more planted, etc. As an example of this check out the Corvette C8 Z06 lap times with and without carbon wheels and see which one is faster. Mind you, the vette that didn't have CF wheels still had light forged wheels.
