Point #1: The aluminum wheels in the story weight 60lbs! For reference, 17" Boxster wheels weigh 18lbs front and 21lbs rear.
Point #2: Starting with 18lbs front and 21lbs rear, Boxster owners will never find a wheel that is 14-15 lbs lighter!
Point #3: 17" Boxster wheels are already more than 2x lighter than the carbon fiber wheels (45-46lbs) in the story!
