Traditionally, aluminum flywheels are for racing, and steel wheels are for the street.
A steel wheel will allow the engine to maintain RPM between shifts, prolonging clutch life and making for smoother shifts.
An alloy wheel allows the RPM to fall rapidly between shifts, which can cause a 'jerk' each time the next gear is engaged.
This is a real common debate for dirt bike riders as they debate between low rpm torque, and high-rpm horsepower.
Hope this helps...
