Exactly.
The chromoly wheel I have is also very light, slightly lighter than an alloy flywheel. Same principle =).
Either one you choose will do well, as long as you keep the weight down. A standard billet wheel in the 25lb range is way, way too havey. In a light car like a 68 coupe, you'll need the lack of inertia on the launch.
Hope the helps!
