For this car anything under 20# is considered light. The 18" OEM Turbo twists in Boxster fit are nearly 30#. My winter wheels (997 Turbo replicas) on the crap snow tires are definitely over 30# and it does kill acceleration...and gas mileage is down about 15-20%. Thankfully I'll be back on my factory Carrera lights and RE-11 when the weather breaks. Night and day.
